Is there any benefits to keeping a maintenance claim open but receiving no maintenance/£7 a week other than the money? Hope that makes sense. So is there any benefits to keeping it open that I’m not thinking of? I don’t need £7 a week (if / when it’s paid) and I don’t mean saving it as it’s literally pennies. So is there any other good reason to keep it open before I close it? Nrp will never work I gave up hoping for that years ago.
