Hi all,
More guidance please.
Looking through the CSA bumf it seems that the amount payable is based on gross income from my employment.
There is a section on variations where the recieving parent can make the CSA aware of any other income such as pensions however if I read it correctly only f they are over £100 per week.
I currently recieve an armed forces invalidty pension of £75 per week.
My questions; Do I add this as gross income or leave it out?: If my ex informs the CSA which Im sure she will will it be considered as it is less than £100 per week?
Regards,
Dave
I've read that previously - the way I read it (could be wrong though) is that its ignored if its your only income. I'd say its worth speaking to the CSA and if possible, get their reply in writing if it's excluded.
Called the CMS and they are getting back to me.
Seems a grey area asi it is not taxed.
I will update when I get a response.
Regards,
Dave
CMS have confirmed that an Armed Forces Invalidity Pension is NOT included in the CMS calculation.

Dave
