    Haha yep, we'll go in early morning. On a Wednesday. Lol. There are a few people there who are so lovely and willing to help, but I'd understand if they pointed me to the phones

    Wait...I just added up those payments as Im sure we'll qual for all and DF won't be going over 800 pf...136, 160, my parenting payment 424, DF's about 400, 130 rent assist...so VERY approx $1340 pf without the baby bonus...that doesn't seem right? Like, too much?

    you won't get the full 136 as ftbb will be based on the lower income earners total income

    but everything else, yeah, sounds about right.

    ooh, don't forget his payment will be impacted by his earnings much sooner - if he is no longer studying, he'd have to be on new start, and after 62 in earnings, his payment will start reducing
