Hard to determine?

My wife is on the aged pension, and I'm on Newstart. Our half share of cash asset interest is deemed at $104.80 each. What should my Newstart allowance be per fortnight? All the stuff Human Services supply is either Single, Couple both on pension, couple both on Newstart! Not one on pension and one on Newstart. So confusing!

Your share of the income will not affect you if less than $104/ftn has no impact.
