    Question Centrepay confusion...

    I've moved into department of housing. I applied to have my rent come out of my FTB payments, as they are higher than my carers payment. They deducted it from my carers & have been trying to change it since.

    I found out yesterday that there is no other option. I can't change it from my carers payment, because of state government regulations... (pretty much only WA)

    I don't understand why though? To me, I feel more secure in my FTB than I do my carers payment.

    Is there anything I can do to change this? Or am I just going to have to learn to manage my money to live with it. On the week my rent comes out I'm left with $315... on the once a month my insurance & phone bill come out that leaves me with $100... and if I happen to run out of gas that week, I'm screwed Plus DD's & I do winter sports. Away games are around $50 in petrol usually & our last bye has changed away games to fall on my carers week

    So is there anyone, anywhere, I can maybe talk to about this? Local member for parliament? Housing authority? My last house was community housing & I had no worries choosing when it came out.

    Wonder if they'd accept bank transfers/bpay?
