Does study change payments ?

[CinderToriella]

I am on FTB and will be on parenting payment single once it's approved .
I want to start a diploma via home study .
Will studying change my payments in any way ?

You may be eligible for Pensioner Education Supplement which is between $30 and $60ish depending on your study load. You have to apply for it separately to your PPS.

Thanks
I was concerned my payments may go down for some reason :/

Nope, they should remain the same, you may just be eligible for PES as above and possibly JET child care assistance if your kids are in day care in order for you to study. I'm not really up on that one though as its been a while Also check with your course provider as some allow reduced fees to students who are on government payments, but it varies by course and provider.

Good luck with it
