    Thats alright Zaki&Amali, I'm curious to know as well!

    I wonder if you claim early, if that means they can tell you earlier how much you would be entitled to.

    Also, do any of you ladies have any understanding of how the income test works for FTB part A? I've read it asks for both my & my partners income over this financial year. Does that mean I have to put in what I earned BEFORE bubs is actually born? Because by the time bubs is born, I would have worked half of the financial year, but I wont be working after bubs comes. So the money I'm earning now will have no effect on our finances when bubs is born.

    Sorry if that sounds confusing lol, I'm so confused I cant word it any better
