    if you're on no income, DP on his 50-ish, you'll get both ftba and ftbb

    at a guess - if you have NO income at all, you'll get 128 of ftbb (more depending on what the new payments will be in 09/10)

    for a fifty k income for ftba purposes, you'll prolly be somewhere around 100 a fortnight, maybe a bit less (i'm too lazy to go on and do a proper estimate)

    if you rent, you might be eligible for rent assistance as well

    if you want it to be more specific, i'll go through the estimator later (about to go out) - reply in here whether you pay rent and how much - and best case scenario for your partner income wise (so if he got bonuses or maybe a pay rise etc) - if you want to keep it off the boards for privacy reasons, pm me

    Your an angel!
    Yep we rent $270pw and absolute best case scenario for dan is about $53k but will most likely be less.

    I hope I'm not putting you out.......
