    Does anyone know what the time frame is? Applied for the back to school allowance the first week you could. Have yet to hear back. It's taking a long time. I'm within the limit to apply for it.

    My friend spoke to them and they said it would take 6-8 weeks to process the forms because of the amount of people applying.

    We applied the day the online applications opened and received the payment into the bank last week.

    I applied on July 8th and got a letter today saying we have been approved but it didn’t say when the payment will be in my account, the letter is dated today 11th August does anyone know the timeline as to when it should hit my bank account?. It didn’t say when it would be paid to us. We are relieved one less thing to worry about at the moment.

    Do you receive any other payments from SW, like WFP? I think they usually pay them together. I’m still waiting to hear if I’ll get it.
