Hi Alicia, I work for the Department of Human Services in a team answering questions on social media sites like this one. If you’ve provided your parent’s income details within 13 weeks of your payments cancelling and continue to meet all other eligibility criteria to receive Youth Allowance, your payments can be restored and any arrears owed to you paid along with your regular allowance payment. You can check details of your payment by logging in to your Centrelink account online. Hope this helps.
