    How long for Baby Bonus/FTB update?

    I lodged my PPL claim and about 2 weeks later got a letter requesting I enter more information online. I rang them as i was confused as it was basically entering the same info as was in the first claim. Anyway I did this within a week and it took about another week to receive the letter indicating the claim was approved.

    Edit - this was all in the last month

    Beatrix do also claimed dad and partner pay. As the period of leave required to qualify for this payment is unpaid, claims involving it tend to be prioritised. Wait times are currently around six weeks for standard baby bonus/FTB claims
