Two weeks ago the ex told me she was stopping her part time job because she was moving when her flat mate moved house. She was worried about the CM. Well I say worried she only pays £5 per week.
I told her if she stopped working then her ex employer could hardly deduct CM but I suggested that she tells the CSA because those missed £5 per week would soon add up to a staggering back log.
Now I had already initiated an appeal based on her life style not being consistant with her declared income. She only declared the part time income.
Now she will have to convince the CSA she has no income what so ever. Well I say convince them. As far as I can see she tells them she has no income and they say ok that's fine.
They never equate how does the NRP support themselves with the statement that they have no income.
I am assuming that the CSA will now do nothing, well I say nothing, they will carry on taking their salaries.

Will she not be claiming any benefits?

£5 per week is the minimum payment and they will take that out of benefits.

Is she on a DEO?

I don't know what a DEO is. She said she would not be claiming benefits. Her words, the Job Centre treat her like a criminal. Probably because she has never paid any tax or NI contributions in her life may be?
Hence my question will the CSA accept that she simply has no income what so ever.

DEO = Deduction of Earnings Order

The CSA need evidence of income to make an assessment. That can be difficult when someone is paid cash in hand and isn't in the tax system. YOu could try reporting her to the Inland Revenue who might get around to an investigation, then she would be in the tax system and there would be evidence of her income. That happened to my ex, although it wasn't me that reported him, and he was bankrupted.
