well well....after some great advice from BG ()...i rang FAO again, lied & said we're really strugglin financially, its been 6 wks today since lodgement date, can they please please please call processing ctr. So lady did, and i got put onto the lady that dealt with my enquiry on Monday.
She said they've lost the forms.....at a processing centre across the state......so i would have to do it all over again....**** !!!!! Anyway, i was about to head into a Medicare office (major feat for me - 3 children 3 and under...yer right) and they would do my forms at an office. We got talking and she mentioned something about H's medicare card. I explained he had one..she seemed surprised......then she looked up our details and saw Tamworth office had processed my forms ...so they are the ones that have lost it. I musta sounded over it, coz she rang me back and said she would do my forms and have $ in my account by end of week....
So there you go - persistence...ive been told 7 times (the 7 times ive rang FAO) that my forms are being processed...when infact they werent being processed...they were LOST !!!

Im glad the last lady was so helpful....coz the others up until this point have been shocking......
