CMS Appeal

[noodledoodle78]

Hi I am hoping someone can offer some advice.

My husband submitted paperwork to the CMS to allow the maintenance claim to be calculated.

It included his 2015 tax return and a 2016 projected return.

He was made redundant in 2015 and the tax return included paye earnings as well as self employed earnings following his redundancy.

 

Cms then spoke to his accountant who confirmed he was now solely self employed.

 

Yesterday we received calculation paperwork based on his gross paye earnings and not the current subcontractor earnings.

He phoned to appeal this as the figures would be very different and was told they can only use his 2015 tax return.

 

How can we appeal this decision as the next set of returns aren't due until April and he simply can't afford to start making the current payments as the calculations are wrong and he will never be able to retrieve this back.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
