We get WFF. I overestimate DH's income so have a backpayment on its way to me. Got the letter for that a couple of days ago so I guess yours can't be too far away.

We get WFF credits, and we're eligible for an accomodation supplement but I choose not to bother with it as it's $1.

We get Temporary Additional Support and Accommodation Supplement at the moment, although the TAS will stop very shortly. When the girls are born, we will get the Accom Supplement and WFF - paid weekly, but I have overestimated our income hugely so should get a nice lump sum at the end of the year....

We get WFF, but it is only $146 including accom supplement. And with this we somehow need to buy groceries, petrol and pay bills as DP only gets paid once a month and his pay normally goes towards his business expenses  .

$146 is pretty good, IMO.
Ours is $145  (accom. supp and WFF together)
I think we may be owed a bit of extra from WFF, so it's nice to know summaries are on their way out

$146 a week? Or fortnight? I wouldn't be complaining about that if it was weekly.
We get WFF - $66 a week. Don't qualify for accomm supplement because apparently a soldier earns too much and can easily pay his $490 a week mortgage and rates

Got our wff summary yesterday, get ours as a lump sum. Not getting as much as I had thought/hoped as I forgot I worked for 2 months at the start of the financial year Looks like we wont be able to do some of the things around the house I was looking forward too, luckily it covers the new carseat for DS.

We get WFF and CDA but only get $7 p/week AS so didn't bother applying. We barely overestimated DPs earnings but coz of his hours being cut back so drastically they owe us over a grand lol yay!

we get nothing. To get accomm supplement down here our rent would need to be over $5000 (yes thousand) per week. The WINZ lady thought it was a joke. And its not like living is cheap down here....Our Auckland lawyer thought we were paying auckland prices for our new house...sadly....thats just central otago....Thanks Queenstown!
