Ah, I see now why it isn't backdated - a google for 'how long does it take to get the baby bonus' gets answers ranging from 'a few days' to 'about a week' after you post the forms. I had the baby a month ago and sent the forms in within a day or two and I'm missing FTA from over a month ago.
Starting to get really annoyed that this is taking SO DAMN LONG and the idiot woman I spoke to on the phone last week says they won't even do anything until it has been waiting in their queue for 21 days. So how does everyone else except me get it so fast?
I guess I was just expected to happily divide the $252 they were giving me out between 3 kids for a couple of months until someone noticed the system error on their own and actually told me, or they found me starving in a corner or something cos that plus the rent I get minus rental expenses does NOT cover food/bills/nappies.
As you can see this is starting to really annoy me.
