Why use CMSAS?

CMSAS Ltd was founded after the partners (one a resident parent and the other a non-resident parent) experienced the frustration and complexity of dealing with the CMS through their own cases, with one going through the First Tier Tribunal hearing process.

The founders understand how complex, frustrating and stressful it can be, whether you are not receiving the right amount, have been incorrectly assessed, are unable to get the CMS to acknowledge there is an issue or are facing a court hearing.

 

There are many websites available online that you can use to check information. Please be mindful that each and every case is individual and different. What may have worked for the person online, your friend, your co-worker, does not mean it will automatically work for you.
