Schoolkids bonus WILL be paid in Jan '14

[~clover~]

I have a question though. For the chance that someone can help (but I doubt it...)

I just updated DD1 to be attending secondary school next year, but our address is still WA. I'm moving back to NSW in Jan, so she will be in secondary school, but year 7 in secondary isn't compulsory here in WA til 2015.

So will I get the amount for secondary school, even though I may not have changed my address by the time its paid? (Starting the move around the 15th Jan, address change probably won't happen til around the 21st.) Or is it possible I'll only get the primary allowance?

Kids are starting secondary year 7 here, so they may have included that already I guess

it will be based on the state and high school expectations on the test date (jan 1) so your dd will be assessed as being in WA and may not receive the higher level of payment

oh :/ Is there anything I can do about that?? It still does say year 8 for WA on the website, even though its all changing.
