your regular payment should be around 550 a fortnight

if you're working at all, you'll get less depending on how much you've earned

if you're paying back an overpayment, you'll have that deducted

once a quarter you'll get a telephone allowance (around 22)

if you have any bills being paid from your payment, that will come out before you get paid

if you've had an advance payment, that will be deducted from your payment each fortnight

as a single parent, you don't get utilities allowance

with the FTB, if you're entitled to rent assistance, it will lbe paid with your FTB

if you've had an FTB advance, this will be deducted each fortnight

if you're entitled to maintenance (even if it's not being paid by the father) it can still impact and reduce your payments

if you have had a change to maintenance assessment, it will read that you've potentially been overpaid at the start of the year and is adjusting so that you don't end up with a debt

i would suggest you look at your letters that you've received to see about deductions or add on's - if it doesn't make sense, call c'link for further advice
