    should I follow it up yet?

    I handed in the forms for Iains birth 2 weeks ago. I know the Baby bonus can take some time so thats ok. But my FTB payments have not changed yet. I was paid on Friday. Should I follow up yet? I know it will be back paid when it comes through Im just not sure if its normal that that hasn't updated yet. All my previous kids have been updated within days of handing in the forms.

    Could it be that his birth registration hasn't been processed yet? The BD&M website says there is like a 6 week wait for that....

    Fj it probably took me about 2-4 weeks to get my payments happening with E.
    My birth certificate was only processed last week (still havent gotten it) and he is 7 weeks!

    give it a little while longer. they will back pay you anyhow

    It takes up to 21 days for the BB and your payments to adjust. You will get back paid from his birth though. Nah the birth registration is different. Took us 9 weeks to get that.

    yeah i thuoght as much. just been lucky with the others being processed so fast. wasn't to sure if the FTB payments were the same as the BB as far as how long it can take.
