How much of the child maintenance is taken into consideration when they process a claim for a single parents income support? I know you can earn up to �20 and then the income support is affected, but what about maintenance? I have been told income support is about �57 per week. My maintenance is going to be �60. How much will be knocked off the income support?

Many thanks in advance.

If you are classed as an old rules case you do not have a disregard therefore you will not get Income support.

If you are a new rules case you will have �10 disregarded and get just over �7.00 pw + rent and council tax etc paid.

Whether you are old or new rules depends which CSA computer system you are on - eventually all will be new rules (In theory at least) - your benefit office will be able to tell you which rules you come under
