Does my benefit count as partner to NRP?

Hi All,

My husband ex partner has put a calim in for "departure of maintenance" and lifestyle inconsistencies was noted. However the CSA have rejected her appeal on both issues raised except for one which was "partners income", which the CSA say they beleive I am working.

I am currently unemployed and only had a weekend job before for 18 hours only, but lost my job recently. I am in receipt of CSA, CHILD TAX, CHILD BENEFIT.

I need to appeal the csa desicion as I do not work and have never worked full time as my husbands ex is accusing me of, which I can prove.

my question is will or can the csa take into account my benefit income to assess my husbands maintance?

Should I send my corespondences of benefits ect??

I read the varation order 2000 which I think the ex has ­base­d her appeal on if this helps, but I was geting confused when I read it all!!!

Thanks in advance

The CSA do not take into account your income - only your husband's. Only he is financially responsible for his children (along with their mother) - you are not.

hi thanks but the csa do take my income into account on a variation "departure of maintance" that's what they have told me, they even awareded me half the housings cost, so now I need to appeal as I do not work? x
