As soon as your child is born you apply for child benefit. Your previous application for it probably has been invalid. I would contact them and see if you need to reapply.
Less than a week, I didn't apply until April I think and they couldn't backdate all the way
It took me about a week from applying to recieveing first payment defo contact them x

Definitely give them a call and chase up. There had been a small problem with mine their end so I wasn't hearing anything back but I had to call and speak with someone who sorted it over the phone. I thought you can't apply until your child's birth has been registered, was your baby born September last year?
