I haven't received anything either. I only submitted my form 2 weeks ago.
Yes they have said it can take until 23rd December and I submitted on the 10th sept
I put in my application on the 18th of September and received first payment on 23rd of October, backdated to the Monday after he was born x
We put our application in at the end of October (baby was born 02/08) and received it with backpay the week after. We called them though, rather than do it online x
