Can I be controversial and ask if you get FTB why do you need an extra payment???

Isn't FTB to help pay for the costs of raising children?

Eta: I don't mean anyone specifically!!! I am talking generally!!
Funny you write this, we were just having the same conversation!

I really don't understand these forms of payments, especially with the FTB etc in place.

YAY we all get a cash payment...
That would be lovely, but not the case!
