Expand allThis document outlines information about the start days for payments and identifies the start days that can be backdated.
Backdating provisions
Backdating provisions differ for each payment. As a general rule, if a person claims a payment and is qualified on the day the claim is made, that is the start day.
A customer's start date may be backdated to an earlier day before the day on which they lodged a completed claim if the person is qualified and the claim is made:
- after a partner's claim
- as a transfer to another payment
- after childbirth
- by an incapacitated customer
- after the death of a partner
- when a contact has indicated an intention to claim for a customer experiencing a vulnerable circumstance
