Unsupported Childs Benefit was paid

If the young person has been living with a caregiver who was getting Unsupported Childs Benefit for the young person, the young person can only get Young Parent Payment if:

  • the young person has stopped living with the caregiver and
  • there has been a relationship breakdown between the young person and caregiver

This is because caregivers who get Unsupported Childs Benefit for a dependent person are considered parents.

The Independent Assessment Provider report will assist you in determining relationship breakdown.
