Hi DINA, last year the Govenment changed the age that your youngest child has to be before you get moved on to Job Seekers from 7 to 5 years.

When they told you at a recent appointment that you will be moved onto Job Seekers, did they tell you when this will happen? They usual try to notify people awhile before you get moved so that you have time to prepare yourself for the change.
