    we lived OS for 7 months and the deal with that was that it would cut out after 90 days. I *think* it might have something to do with the visa rules of the country you are visiting?? ie once it goes from tourist visa limits to residential limits...maybe??

    i remember we had to inform them once we got back to resume the full payments as well.

    I was travelling to my home country and our FTB was cut to half from day one umn just thinking may be it was a mistake or don't know how they handle each case.DHs friends wife also visited the same country as me but she was paid full payments.

    If you go to the centrelink web site and search going overseas it will have some of your answers there.

    Cassius2 I would suggest you before leaving please speak to them so they can not make the mistake they done last year with my case.I am thinking to talk to them that why they
    cut half of my FTB when i just left for 1.5 month and mine was cut from day one.

    hope you have pleasant escape I need one desperately too.
