Supplements/Reco 2011

Sorry I didn't realise that.
I didn't realise that you could keep them on FAO payments...they cut me off as soon as she turned 16...or do you mean only from Jan?

from previous posts, i believe you're on parenting payment - you are MUCH better off (to the tune of about 160 a fn) havin her on youth allowance

Fleur, the payment for a 16 year old will go up in January (provided it passes legislation) - was an update released in the May Budget this year

I've been told two conflicting dates that the supplement will start going through, the 15th and 18th. BG do you know when the payments start?

Regards,
Dianne

If you are going through bulk reco it starts being processed from the 15th and delivered from the 19th. Bulk reco occurs when your information was all received before your last payment for June was generated. Otherwise it will go through when all info received

Hi Hun I have a question. DP and myself have both done our taxes and received our refunds. Centrelink has both our income figures. They've had them for a week or more but our ccr and our end of year supplements are no where in sight. I have read previous comments but am still unsure of dates as to when they start. Is it from next week or the 25th???

ftb have started already BUT, if your income comes into the FAO at same time as your partner, or after, FAO send the result to ATO to see if you owe money - if not, it is sent back and issued to you by FAO - i believe the turnaround is supposed to be about 10 days (but may be longer - 28 days is deemed normal)

ccb/ccr won't start until the 25th - the child care providers are given three weeks at end of quarter to make sure all info is in

Yes we get a bit longer to finalise EOY crap but things on CCMS go notoriously screwy at the end of the year *sigh*
maybe i am the only one with CCMS issues but thank goodness recon isn't until end next week for us because too much crap to fix!

Thanks so much Hun! So awesome that you do this!

Sorry if this is a silly question but is my parenting Payment single classed as taxable income?
I need to fill in the advise for non-lodgment of tax return.
Thanks

[briggsy's girl]

Do you know much about carer allowance BG? Kinda complicated question...

I handed in my part of the forms before the end of the financial year (around mid June), but only have the doctors half of the forms now, to hand in on Monday.

Now I was told there was a lump sum payment & that I should be back paid to the date I handed in the forms. Would the lump sum payment be only a part payment back to when I handed in the forms also, or if approved would I be entitled to the whole payment.

And am I right that I will get backpaid to when I handed in my half of the forms. I'm pretty sure an officer did actually say that, but not counting my chickens...

Thanks

if you handed in your part of the form within two weeks of initial date of contact, you may actually be paid to your date of first contact.

you won't be paid a pro-rata portion of the lump sum - you either get it or you dont - and whether you get it will depend on what date is used to grant the payment. if you have handed in your part and the doctors bit was the only bit missing, and your date of grant is not until the doctor put in their bit, you have the right to appeal the date it was granted (you can appeal anything really!) given you cant control when the doctor submitted the form (provided you'd actually given them the form in time)

Ok, thanks
Guess I'll just have to wait & see

i believe it takes about 7 weeks for any disability/carer assessment to be carried out so it may take a while. they are all assessed by a specialist team who have a lot more clue than the average consultant about the impact of illness/injury/caring responsibilities

what BG said!! If you handed in your claim form within 14 days of the initial date of contact, your claim will be assessed from that date. You have 13 weeks from your initial contact date to provide all outstanding documentation (e.g. doctors reports, proof of ID) for the claim. If you've done that, I can't think of any reason why your claim wouldn't be assessed from your initial date of contact. If your initial date of contact was prior to 1/7/11 and is granted, you should be entitled to the carers' bonus payment - I would guess it would be issued at the same time as any backpay you are entitled to but not 100% sure HTH

don't you mean 14 days Eutra?

it's ok - we'll blame it on peak time and baby brain!
