    Thanks Lulu, I actually have a friend whom works there & she has spoken to someone at the branch we had our child care receipts too & they have sorted it out & I will get my refund next week...
    I cancel our payments as I get bonuses during the year, I also get a pay increase every Feb & DH does overtime sporadically. But I always asy we earn a minimum of $10,000 more than we are at the time, because i never know what my payrise will be or what my bonuses will be.... Last year I got a nice lump sum.. this year due to them not cancelling it I will only get a little bit, but better than paying anything!!!!

    Hi everyone,

    I was just wondering if anyone knows if a HECS debt affects Family payments? DP finished Uni June last year and earns approx $40K atm.. i think part of his income goes to paying that off but when i start recieving benefits will part of my benefits be going to his HECs also? Or will our incomes be combined as a total to the government and maybe will he get less in the bank as the more he earns the more he is taxed?
