That is what I understood. I am clear on that. I presume that, therefore, they had to apply for it, because that is procedure under the new guidelines. On the website, it says that people ‘aged 17 years or under will be referred to Centrelink social workers to discuss possible support’ et cetera. I presume that refers to those people who applied under special circumstances for a lump sum payment. What I am asking is: why did they apply for a lump sum payment? I presume that Centrelink has kept a record of those details.
