Last week DF called centrelink to find out what assistance we could get as he is basically not earning anything right now.
We are also changing roles and I am becoming full time at work and he will be the SAHD.
DD will still go to CC 2 days a week.

CURRENTLY we get some rent assistance, FTB A & B and CCB and CCR.

The person he spoke to has told him that we would be better off getting partnered parenting payment.

Centrelink sent out a whole heap of forms and wanted all my details (AND I MEAN EVERY DETAIL). Do I have to fill in this stupidform when they have ALL OF MY DETAILS already on file which are current andup to date? My income wont change until end of January so I dont want to update that yet.

Also what happens with CCR, CCB and the other payments? Are they all wiped if we get partnered parenting payment?

I would call up but I am so time poor at the moment during daylight hours.

Hoping BG or someone just as lovely can help.

I'm so confused and angry at DF as I just cant deal with this stuff at the moment yet I also want to understand as I know he isnt earning much money at all at the moment. (Mind you I am the one paying for everything!!!) Arrhhh the things we do.
