Okay so if I move to Student Allowance from the DPB, I will be $30 better off a week. However now I'm unsure whether I can move across at all now because I found out Child Support has a 2 month delay in coming through after WINZ payments stop. For me that's a loss of $100 a week from what I get now, until it kicks in. I simply cannot afford to be down $100 a week for 2 months. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you get around it (or didn't you).
