In January 2013 DWP announced their strategy for collection of arrears. In the 1st report of the Monitoring of Performance of the DWP - the Select Committee commented: DWP’s strategy for dealing with child maintenance arrears—both historic arrears and those in the new 2012 scheme—needs to be shown to be practicable. It is not yet clear whether the steps introduced to prevent new arrears arising are feasible; nor what the prioritisation of historic arrears for collection means in reality for those parents with care who are owed money. DWP needs to ensure that the decisions it takes regarding the collection of arrears are transparent and communicated clearly and promptly to all parents affected by the new arrangements.
