We qualify too and we both get it but both had to fill forms out for it... You could always ring and double check but they won't take $50 back straight away if they have over paid you. They over paid us and just took a certain amount each week until fully paid... We got overpaid almost $400 somehow and they rung me right away and said keep it we'll just take x amount each week until it's paid.
They work out your entitlement using household income, then the amount gets split between you, so if you're entitled to $50 p/week based on his income, then you'll get $25 each. The first week is usually more than your normal weekly entilement as they will backdate to when you rang and made the appt. The backdated amount is also split
We get our big huge $7.50 each paid in seperately.....Break the bank!!!! Esp after they told me I would be getting $60 and then recieving a letter a week late saying it was that much less.......and we dont get any other assistance cos we are $22 over the threshold for any other help!!!!
