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
