    For the lump sum you do need to fill in the form online. I got stumped with that question as well - I think it says have you had one in your case "since" 2008, which I took to mean that there was one at some stage after that date. If you click yes then it will take you through to the form and you can fill it all out.

    I think the wording is just a bit confusing - there are quite a few aspects that are a little confusing.

    the wording is "since" - you still do the same process hun - the online claim won't process for the full financial year when it's done, just from the date your bub was born. before that it was read on the internal files (so from july 1 to jan 20 it will read as "no dependents eligible". but the claim process is exactly the same - just tick yes and go through the questions
