Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for each available year, under the Child Maintenance Service, how many claims from a non-resident parent for a recalculation of maintenance as a result of a change in the income of that parent were (a) received; and (b) successful in each of the last three years.

The number of claims to the Child Maintenance service made by non-resident parents with regards to recalculation of maintenance as a result of a change in their income in the years 2016, 2017 and 2018 are outlined in the table below.

The table also includes the proportion of claims that were successful in each year.

The proportion of successful claims in each year does not directly relate to the number of claims made in that year, as claims completed in one year could include claims made in the previous year.

Note

YTD: The 2018 figures are year to date figures.
