ThresholdsN.I.
67.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), the costs or repayments referred to in regulations 62 and 64 to 66 are to be special expenses for the purposes of paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 4B only where they are equal to or exceed the threshold amount of £10 per week.
(2) Where the expenses fall within more than one description of expense referred to in paragraph (1), the threshold amount applies separately in respect of each description.
(3) Subject to paragraph (4), where the Department considers any expenses referred to in this Chapter to be unreasonably high or to have been unreasonably incurred it may substitute such lower amount as it considers to be reasonable, including an amount which is below the threshold amount or a nil amount.
(4) Any lower amount substituted by the Department under paragraph (3) in relation to contact costs under regulation 62 must not be so low as to make it impossible, in the Department’s opinion, for contact between the non-resident parent and the qualifying child to be maintained at the frequency specified in any court order made in respect of the non-resident parent and that child where the non-resident parent is maintaining contact at that frequency.
