Did the right thing (or so i thought!) and stopped claiming housing/council tax benefit a few months ago when my then boyfriend started staying over more than the "allowed" 3 nights a week, unfortunately it didnt work out, split last night, quite amicably thankfully, and i now will have to reapply.
I notice that from the 27th October ALL child maintenance is disregarded whereas before it was only £15.
My sons father currently pays £80 a week so this new rule would make quite a difference to my finances.
My question is does anyone know if i need to wait till after 27th October to make the claim for benefit for this rule change to take effect or will it kick in automatically?
thanks
