well we take any payments at tax time as well. It *use* to just come in after we did our taxes but now it's all changed and you have to make a claim.

Anyway when I rang up about it they set me up with online access and all I have to do was fill out the questions and state my husband was making a tax return. Then after his tax was done the payment went into our account. So apparently I just have to do the same online thing next year.

It was into our account within 1 week of him going to the accountant, so we got our FTB before we got DH tax return.
