Interesting article re some proposed changes going under consultation.

 

Key theme seems to be including unearned income and making it easier for CMS to access data/info about paying parents.

thanks. was just reading about it. you can take part in consultation by emailing: cm.consultation@dwp.gov.uk

 

Question 1. What is your view on including a paying parent’s unearned income alongside their earned income in the initial CMS calculation, rather than only when a variation is requested?

 

Question 2. What are your views on our plans to make a maintenance calculation based on a paying parent’s statement of their estimated income for the remainder of the tax year, until information can be obtained from HMRC at the annual review?

 

Question 3. What are your views on our proposal to re-assess a maintenance calculation where a self-employed parent’s income has changed before the end of the relevant tax year?

 

Question 4. What are your views on our plans to extinguish arrears balances in cases that meet the proposed requirements outlined in this paper?

Question 5. What are your views on our proposal to set the maximum limit for such cases at £6.99?

Question 6. What are your thoughts on our proposal to extinguish arrears balances in cases that meet the proposed requirements outlined in this paper?

Question 7. What are your thoughts on our proposal to use all forms of communication appropriate to customer needs including digital?

Question 8. What are your views on our plan to extend our existing online service for employers and look to communicating with third parties digitally in the future regarding Child Maintenance cases?

Question 9. Do you have any comments in relation to the inclusion of private pension providers, the Motor Insurers’ Bureau and all types of companies that offer, promote or sell investment management services or facilitate share trading to the list of persons and organisations who have a duty to provide information to the Secretary of State?

Question 10. Do you have any comments in relation to the inclusion of academy proprietors in the list of persons and organisations who have a duty to provide information to the Secretary of State when there is already a data sharing duty between an academy proprietor and local authorities?
