Default Anyone ever get some help with Rent allowance?

Just wondering has anyone ever applied for rent allowance, and if so did they get help?

If you have a child and get FTB, you can be entitled to Rent allowance from the time you are PR, and are in Australia.

Are you in Oz? As I understand it when you register with Centrelink they base your family allowance and your rent rebate on your salary or the lack of. If you've registered you should get it without applying, but contact them to find out.

You only get rent allowance if you are entitled to FTB Part A AND have that paid fortnightly.

You'll find more info here: http://www.centrelink.gov.au/interne...assistance.htm
