Youth allowance (not being considered as away from home)
Hello all.
My family's home is in Brisbane, and i finished high school in Briabane. Currently, Im studying uni full-time and renting in Sydney.
I have provided my rental contract, my uni transcripts, and my home address. But Centrelink still pays me an "at home" rate.
I went to the service centre for some consulting, but the person told me she was not sure if im eligible for "away from home" because it was my own choice to study Sydney.
Right now, i dont know what to do, and i dont know what I am eligible for. I know that the requirement for "away from home" includes 90 mins travel from home.
Has anyone dealt with something similar or knows what to do? Am i eligible for the "away from home" rate? What can I do to get the "away from home" rate. Any tips would help me a lot.
Thank you so much for reading this far. Have a good day.
