Child Support And The Work Bonus Hearing 93 1 On S 1842 S 2081 And Other Matters Relating To Child Support And The Work Bonus September 25 1973

"In February 2006 Sir David Henshaw was asked to lead a redesign of the child support system. A key recommendation of the review was that child maintenance should be disregarded up to a high threshold in calculating Income Support (IS), and that child support should be disregarded entirely in calculating Housing Benefit (HB) and Council Tax Benefit (CTB). In the White Paper 'A new system of child maintenance' published in December 2006, it was announced that the Government will significantly increase the amount of maintenance that parents with care on benefit can keep before it affects the level of benefit they receive. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) commissioned Frontier Economics to carry out a short review of the economic literature examining whether increasing the amount of maintenance that parents with care (PWCs) on benefit can keep will affect their decision to work and subsequently have an impact on employment rates."--P. 1.
