I thought the new measure for high earners was not due until 2013.

I was going to ring my SIL , she's a SCO (I think that's her current rank) here in Washington Child Benefit Centre, but remembered she's on leave at the moment
Good luck

i recently applied for child benefit. They didn't ask any details of income, so i presume that the high earner thing hasn't been introduced yet
