7

Where there is a new qualifying child in relation to a different person with care and an application for a maintenance calculation has been made under section 4 or section 7 of the Child Support Act, the decision takes effect from the beginning of the maintenance period in which notification of the calculation is given to the non-resident parent.

Series of changes waiting to be actioned

8

Where a decision is superseded on application and, in relation to that decision, a maintenance calculation is made to which paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to the Child Support Act applies, the effective date of the calculation or calculations is the beginning of the maintenance period in which the change of circumstances to which the calculation relates occurred or is expected to occur and where it occurred before the date of the application for the supersession and was notified after that date, the beginning of the maintenance period in which that application was made.

Own initiative decision

9

Unless paragraph 4 applies, where a decision is superseded in a case where the Secretary of State is required to give notice under regulation 7C, the decision takes effect from the first day of the maintenance period which includes the date which is 28 days after the date on which the Secretary of State has given notice (oral or written) to the relevant persons under that regulation.

Supersession of tribunal decision made pending outcome of a related appeal

10

Where, in accordance with section 28ZB(5) of the Child Support Act (appeals involving issues that arise on appeal in other cases), the Secretary of State makes a decision superseding the decision of the First-tier Tribunal or the Upper Tribunal, the superseding decision takes effect from the beginning of the maintenance period following the date on which the decision of the First-tier Tribunal or, as the case may be, the Upper Tribunal would have taken effect had it been decided in accordance with the determination of the Upper Tribunal or the court in the appeal referred to in section 28ZB(1)(b).

Supersession of tribunal decision made in error due to misrepresentation etc.

11

Where—

• (b) the Secretary of State is satisfied that the decision was more advantageous to the person who misrepresented or failed to disclose that fact than it would otherwise have been but for that error,

the superseding decision takes effect from the date on which the decision of an appeal tribunal, the First-tier Tribunal, the Upper Tribunal or a Child Support Commissioner (as the case may be) took, or was to take, effect.

Supersession of look alike case where law reinterpreted by the Upper Tribunal or a court
