Ok, so I know this isn't a Family Assistance thing, but it's a Centerlink thing.

7 and a half weeks ago, I put in for Carers Allowance + only got told last week (after waiting 6 weeks, i was told by phone when I was chasing up) that they needed a copy of my birth certificate. I had provided DS (because its for me in association with him) and my drivers license, Medicare card and bank card.
Did it, went away, called 3 days later to see the progress.
Apparently it hasn't even been looked at by then which infuriated me!

Fast forward to a week later (today) from that phone call + I tried calling but got the engaged signal.

Anyways, I guess the point of this is while thread is when am I going to see any progress in it, and will I get back paid for it?
