    For the sums involved, I would get myself a Solicitor. The fact that you were not working does not always equate to a 'nil' assessment. There is such a thing as a 'Variation' and applies if you have 'assets' of more than £65,000, I believe is the current threshold. The list of 'assets' is defined and relates to cash, shares, but excludes items like the NRP home. See Variations Regs 18(2)and 18(3) for what's excluded.

    (2) For the purposes of this regulation “asset” means—
    (a)money, whether in cash or on deposit, including any which, in Scotland, is monies due or an obligation owed, whether immediately payable or otherwise and whether the payment or obligation is secured or not and the Secretary of State is satisfied that requiring payment of the monies or implementation of the obligation would be reasonable; .
    (b)a legal estate or beneficial interest in land and rights in or over land; .
    (c)shares as defined in section 744 of the Companies Act 1985(1), stock and unit trusts as defined in section 6 of the Charging Orders Act 1979(2), gilt-edged securities as defined in Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992(3), and other similar financial instruments; or .
    (d)a chose in action which has not been enforced when the Secretary of State is satisfied that such enforcement would be reasonable, .
    and includes any such asset located outside Great Britain.
    (3) Paragraph (2) shall not apply—
    (a)where the total value of the assets referred to in that paragraph does not exceed £65,000 after deduction of the amount owing under any mortgage or charge on those assets; .
    (b)in relation to any asset which the Secretary of State is satisfied is being retained by the non-resident parent to be used for a purpose which the Secretary of State considers reasonable in all the circumstances of the case; .
    (c)to any asset received by the non-resident parent as compensation for personal injury suffered by him; .
    (d)to any asset used in the course of a trade or business; or .
    (e)to property which is the home of the non-resident parent or any child of his
