It usually depends on which day your pension is paid. I received a small amount because from the day it started to the day my pension was due was only a couple of days.
It will be the full amount next pension day
It has always been this way with my pension, just check and see what day your pension was paid and compare start date, perhaps you were paid the day the increase started, in which case you won't get your rise until next pension day.

This is a prorata payment as you only get paid from the date of the rise, e.g.if the rise was from the 20th and your pension date is the 21st then obviously you only get 1 day, or 2 days, etc. depending on your pension
date.
You will get the full rise next time.
No rip off here, just plain common sense. People please put your brain into gear.
No my pension stays at 0 because my wife works one day.
Is there anything I can do?

I agree with ronmas. I did receive the daily rate as our pension goes in on a different day to others I know.. I don't think it is paid in advance as some years ago when my father passed away his payment was actually put in his bank account on the day he died. I advised his passing the following day of his death not knowing about the payment which they then told me had to be paid back . So it seems to me that they pay in advance but when it comes to the increase it is NOT paid in advance Strange.
I am waiting for my first pension in April, then I will get the increase but it seems that I will only get some $ 27.00 & no increase on the rent help. I checked on the payments page on the Centrelink page I don't know why I get no increase in the rent help as my rent has gone up by $35.00 a week & we have been here for 15 years.
