Be very careful here as I tried going down this route when on CS1 and
CS2. On CS1 as DLA was being received they said that extra costs
incurred were covered by DLA. Under CS2 DLA wasn't being received but
they passed on info concerning my child to my partner's ex even
quoting my child as being terminally ill when this was not the case!
Things they were supposed to have blacked out were not and the ex got
alot of info that she should not have seen. They refused it anyway and
all I gained was her knowing personal info on my child.

Been there with the info -  as a pwc and an ex who sole aim in life is
to avoid paying anything at all cost - I found that when he made a
tragic mistake of appealing  an assessment on the basis that he
couldnt afford it - the amount of information that was disclosed at
appeal was ridiculous.

I think it goes along with the fact that the appeals process is
independent and both parties are entitled to full discolusure which is
a lot fairer than the system whereby you only get to see the bones of
the assessment.  In my case only having seen the appeal papers was I
able to work out and prove the fraudulent activity - the CSA do not
use any common sense and accept whatever information is provided,

Thanks for all replies.
