MEMORANDUM FROM ANDREW MILLER MP

RE: INQUIRY INTO OFFICIAL LANGUAGE

  Thank you for your letter of 1st April. I enclose a copy of the phrase that was used in a response to me regarding a constituent from the CSA; this left us both at a loss from what was expected of my constituent.

  As you can see the top is headed "our questions"; which of the statements do you think constitute a question?!

April 2009

APPENDIX

LETTER FROM THE CHILD SUPPORT AGENCY TO ANDREW MILLER MP'S CONSTITUENT

OUR QUESTIONS

  We originally asked you for details of your income in our latest letter dated 19/08/08. Our records show that we received a letter and also a wage slip from your partner. Unfortunately this information appears to have gone astray.

  To ensure progress of the change of circumstance review I contacted your employer and requested wage details for weeks 18/07/08 to 15/08/08 inclusive, I also contacted your partner's employer and requested income details for August and September 2008. This income information for you and your partner covers the relevant week of this assessment which is 11/08/08—17/08/08.

  The information has now been returned and shows that you had an average income of £337.42 after deductions for tax, national insurance and half of the weekly pension contributions you make. All 5 weeks details included overtime and therefore is considered regular income.

  During conversations with yourself you intimated that your income was lower than this, to ensure that you receive a correct assessment please supply wage slips showing the reduction in your income that you referred to. You will need to send five consecutive wage slips from when your income reduced after the period advised of above.

  If you have any queries regarding this please feel free to contact me on the above number between 08.00 and 16.00 Monday to Friday until 17/04/09.

  Failure to provide the above information will result in an assessment being completed using the above net income and not taking into consideration any reduction in net income that may have since occurred.
