Unfortunately with a system that has to do as much as their system does, sometimes things get missed, but I understand your frustration!!
My DH is also NZ born (moved here with me about 7 yrs ago), and up till early this year everything we had claimed for DD was in his name. When I decided to give up work and claim my family tax benefit fortnightly instead of yearly (I was born in Australia), I was asked to prove my husbands eligibilty to live in Australia . Thankfully I was able to see the funny side.
bjrose-I have been claiming childcare for 2.5yrs and,ftb baby bonuses etc and in the last three years I have had to prove it at least 6 times. I can understand If I hadn't claimed for a period of time why I would have to prove it but Im currently claiming other things.
. Thankfully I was able to see the funny side.
