bub is good - waitin for her to wake up now so i can move her to bed - and yay she just started to stir! daddy's tummy must be comfy! woot!
with any lump sum claim, it's not seen as "urgent" - as it doesn't have to be processed quickly to start fortnightly payments. given that c'link have processed yours, it would be waiting for info from the child carer to work out exactly what you're entitled to (so it needs the hourly breakdown of hours). if these weren't submitted early in the year, it may take a while to refresh. hopefully it's not too long for you
they will start processing around three weeks into October (depending on when the weeks end - i think the end of the september "weeks" is this sunday, so three weeks after that) - and it can take several weeks for them to be paid
