RE: Treatment of arrears of maintenance
Tue 20-May-08 04:14 PM |
Hi,
I have looked at the relevant pages in the CPAG book and agree with Kevin that it is slightly misleading.
HB 79(7) states the following:
"Where the change of circumstances is the payment of income, or arrears of income, in respect of a past period, the change of circumstances shall take effect from the first day on which such income, had it been timeously paid in the period at intervals appropriate to that income, would have fallen to be taken into account for the purposes of these Regulations."
I think that based on the above, I would have to agree with Kevin's interpretation and advice which is probably not what you want to hear!
Regards
John
