maintenance disregards for IS
Wed 17-Jun-09 10:56 AM

can anyone clairify how much of the income from child maintenace is disregarded for IS purposes, the DRA handbook 09/10 says £20.00 and refers to para 73 Sch.9 of the IS regs which (in the 08/09 Sweet & Maxwell) says £10.00. Has there been a change that I have missed?

Thanks for that, I must have missed it! I'll advise my client accordingly.
