CSA is taking my sick children’s tax credits and giving to husband’s ex
March 31, 2010
we have paid weekly money £50 to my husbands ex for 5 years, agreed privatly and with no problems. Now the jealous cow has been told she can get more!!! My god she can do the CSA have got involved.
On my husbands wages she is entitled to £32 a week. Fine we will pay that, no worries. CSA then discover he is the highest earner in our house and so they can have 15% of our weekly tax credits. In a normal situation our tax credits would only be £40 or so but we have 2 children on Disability Living Allowance so our tax credits go up by £100 a week. I can’t work more than 12hrs a week (i get carers allowance)so can’t increase our family income, I have to be home for hospital appoints, therapists etc. They are taking money I get for 2 sick children and giving it to a very healthy 17 year old who refuses to visit us cos her mum might get less money from the CSA. I now have a 3rd child being assessed for aspergers syndrome and to be honest if I get more money for her it won’t improve her life as I have to pass it straight on to the ex. NICE.
And as for variation because of disabilities, well apparently even though they get Disability Living Allowance, they aren’t sick enough to warrant any allowances to be given.
I am now considering leaving my husband just so my children can have what they are entitled FOOD!!!!
The ex and her current partner well as is the norm, in a council house that my husband gave up for her, so pay half our rent, earn between them 3x our combined wage and have 1 child.

I feel so sorry for you both, I am going through the same thing, and no have cam to the conclusion you do not get anywhere being an honest person, so my advice for you too is do not let the woman win, the only way to save money for you and your partner is say you have split up and claim csa yourself, that way his ex will only be entitled to half and you both will keep the other half of your money, you may still be together but what is wrong with lying and saying you have split up so you two can live life worry free and not split up because of CSA, plus having 3 kids you will get more of your partners money from CSA than the ex, this is just advice and believe if csa can lie then so can other people.
