    BG - sorry to chrash this thread! When over-estimating your income, do you then get a 'top up' payment of what you should of recieved if you stated your income exactly? I just went on the Family assistance website and according to the calculator thing - we should of been recieving about a $130 more a fortnight that we actually did. It also included FTB part B, which we never originally got becasue of the over-estimate. We over estimated by almost $18,000, due to my change in work situation, and never bothered to fix it, assuming we would recieve it at end of financial year. Or is it more of a base rate (I don't know if that is the right word..). Is it better to over estitmate, or not?
