I received a letter in the post this week from the GP about the changes to the immunisation allowance and if Matthew doesn`t get his 4 year vac within 1 month of turning 4 we`ll be no longer entitled to the immunisation payment.
I didn`t understand the letter as I thought the immunisation payment was a once off at 18 months? Or do we get an extra payment at 4?
i just read about this on here somewhere yesterday, apparantly the rules have changed and you dont get it at all at 18months now, you wait til 4years.
Hmm I thought it was a one off payment too? Maybe they make you pay it back?? I would ring to clarify
I filled out an exemption form for Ari as we are not vax and have had 3 people ring since to ask why she is "late" with her vax. Obviously the system is working well:rolleyes:
When did it all change? My DD was 2 on 1/1/09 and i havent got it.
you can get a letter from centrelink signed by your GP as an objector and they give you the lot anyway :)
rules changed (can't remember if it was from 010109 or 010708) but basically it's now being split into two installments - i don't think the system is smart enough to have been able to decipher between those who have already received full payment (as you would have done when he was 18months-2years) and those that will fall under the new rulings - so many letters are auto generated! maybe call and check (and yes, i'm advising to call cos i don't know for sure - not often i suggest calling but i don't want to misadvise you!)
