Details

In June 2014 we started telling CSA clients that their CSA case will close. This publication details the progress of these case closures.

As part of the government’s Welfare Reform changes a new Child Maintenance Service (CMS) was introduced to administer all child maintenance under the 2012 statutory child maintenance scheme.

Cases in the previous 1993 and 2003 child maintenance schemes administered by the CSA are being closed and clients are being invited to consider making their own family-based arrangements or to apply to the CMS.

The next release of these statistics will be in June 2018.

   A revision has been made to table 8 of the ODS data tables - the ‘CSA Arrears Only Intake and Caseload on the Child Maintenance Service’. The monthly figures previously published in the ‘Applications to the Child Maintenance Service’ column have been corrected. This column now correctly shows quarterly information. This revision has been made in line with the DWP policy on revisions of Official Statistics.
