Hi 
We've just been looking to see if we would be eligable for WFF and we're finding the site really difficult to interpret. Could anyone tell me if we would receive anything if our yearly income would be about $65,000 with 1 child (in the future)? Thanks

| My DF is on $62,000 or there abouts and we got the letter to say that our WFF is going to be $28. Just about covers the cost of DD formula!! |

Ah dont even talk to me about it..Sometimes wonder if its worth the bother!...I mucked up our income so estimate was slightly wrong as they said I didnt need to count non taxable allowances in yearly income..but apparently now we do...so we have a BILL!! NUTS! Grrr.....least we can save up to pay it off next year! -------------
