I think that you will still be entitled to full PPS and FTB as you are "independent" and it is just like living with other housemates to centrelink. If you are paying less rent and don't have a lease agreement then you may not get RA and I'm not sure about JET assistance, can't see why not. Best to call Centrelink and confirm for your own peace of mind
If you are paying rent, you don't need a lease. Just get a rent assistance form for your parents to sign to say you are paying rent.
If its not much (I was paying $50) you probably won't get RA, but if you're paying over that you should get some.
I wasn't offered JET, but doubt that would change.
Clover is correct - the only thing that will change, if you are on PPS and FTB is potentially your rent assistance - when you notify of your change of address (you need to do so within 14 days of moving), ask for a rent certificate which your parents can sign to verify you are contributing to the rent and you can continue to receive some RA. If your child care details haven't changed, your entitlement to JET won't change and if you are studying you might like to consider applying for the Pensioner Education Supplement (you can download a claim form from the website, have one posted to you via the call centre or pick one up from your local office). HTH!
I'm pretty sure you're not entitled to rent assistance if living with your parents until you're aged 25, even if they're charging you 'normal' rent. But other than that, your payments shouldn't be affected because you're considered an independent because you've got a child HTH!
I was told I would be entitled to rent asisstance, but I was only paying my parents $20 a week, not enough to receive ra. I was only 19 at the time with DD1.
