Child maintenance account question

So I’ve just received my statement for my child maintenance that I receive from my child’s dad. I got the text this morning to say the annual review was done so I logged into my account and when looking on the payments page, it shows arrears amount for the same as my monthly payment I receive. Is this because he actually owes me arrears or is this just the next payment he needs to make?
I’m very confused by it, I will ring tomorrow during lunch break but just wondered if anyone knows the answer to save me ringing if I don’t need to. Thanks

It's done in arrears - so mine always shows the amount in the arrears part; then when he pays - the arrears clear and go to £0.
Then it goes back up again and so on and so on each month

Thank you. What a confusing way to do things though.
