What if the CSA took on a case because the PWC was getting benefits and it later turns out that the claim was fraudulent?
The Court of Appeal has decided that a case like this is OK: “With regard to a claim for Family Credit, the Court of Appeal has recently ruled that in prescribed benefit cases the word ‘claimed’ meant only that a claim had been made and ‘paid’ only meant ‘actually’ paid.” This means if someone has been fraudulently claiming benefit it will make no difference to the application for Child Support as the prescribed benefit has been claimed and paid.
