Assistance - Youth payment

55: Youth payment: incentive payments

You could also call this:

“Extra money for young people who follow special rules”

If you get a youth payment, you might also be able to get extra money called an incentive payment. To get this extra money, you need to meet certain rules. These rules are written in another part of the law.

The amount of extra money you can get is listed in a different part of the law called Schedule 4.

However, there are two other parts of the law (sections 288 and 289) that might affect whether you can get this extra money.
