Why would CMS base maintenance payments on 2019 tax return in 2023?

As title says, really. I've just had my annual review through for maintenance for 3 DCs. I see that award is based on income from exH tax return from 2019. I know that his income has dramatically increased in the past 4 years - why wouldn't DWP know this, or attempt to find out his more recent income? Even if there is no more recent tax return there should be some evidence of benefits or a reason why no tax return has been submitted, surely?

I'm on hold to CMS to ask but wait time 'could be more than an hour' so asking here in case anyone else has an obvious answer 🙂

Hi there, I'm in the same position. Do let me know if you found a solution?
