    postman,

    Under new rules (on or after 03/03/03), you should receive on 20% reduction for the 2 children living in your household prior to the 15% being calculated for your son.

    Do you claim CSA from your nieces father, as she lives with you?

    Unfortunately the CSA class tax credits as your income which is disgusting.

    Think of it as sharing tax credits, provided by the tax paying public, amongst all your progeny.

    I don’t get CSA from nieces dad as he died years ago and I get five pound from daughters mum but CSA take £47 a week straight from wages sometimes they take more I’ve sold car to pay CSA and had to leave our house cause CSA took too much money of us too d.

    Why are they called child support as not supporting children in any such way

    Also when sister died I had to take out a loan for funeral from social fund and have to them back £33 a week as she never had insurance and I’ve got no other family at all .

    postman,

    Do you receive a 20% reduction for the 2 children living in your household, prior to CSA being calculated for your son?

    Have you looked into Guardian’s Allowance (the link below may help) for your niece and do you claim child benefit for her ?

    You could also check with the calculator at the Turn2us website to ensure you are not missing out on financial help that you are entitled to through welfare benefits.
