Can CSA claim industrial injury compensation in leue of maintenance payments?
My son was disabled by an accident at his work and can never work again. As his benefits are below the limit he is not required to and cannot pay CSA mainenance for his child. He got a little compensation for the injury, not very much as he has other medical problems that slashed the compensation amount. Apparantly it is not as bad to cripple someone who was partially disabled to begin with as it is to cripple someone who was in perfect health. The compensation is desperately needed by him for special beds furniture etc: that he will need for the rest of his life. My question is can the CSA make him pay maintenence out of this compensation. He does not owe any arrears as he was assessed at £0.00 liability after the accident. His ex is trying to pressure the CSA to get money from him. She has a child with someone else and is in another relationship. They have 2 homes 2 cars holidays every few months etc. , while he lives in a world of continous pain and discomfort.
CSA maintenance is calculated on a non resident parents regular net earnings
Net earnings are wages.
It is not calculated from capital (eg compensation amounts)
Someone on benefits as their only income will pay a set weekly amount of approx £5.00 per week
So, no his compensation is disregarded from a CSA calculation
