Redirection of Youth Payment

For young people subject to youth money management the Youth Payment and any ongoing Extra help must be redirected to pay for:

  • the young person's accommodation and service costs, for example rent, board, power, phone
  • the young person's lawful debts or other liabilities, for example Child Support payments, Work and Income debts
  • food and groceries via a payment card

Note Disability Allowance is paid directly to the young person.
