I read on their website they dont backdate if the child is more than 3 months i sent in my claim when he was about 9-10 weeks.

generally what they tend to do is just up your payments for the rest of the year rather than give you one lump some at the beggining!! give them a call tommorow though hunny i may be wrong xx
