Hi! I tried to apply for CAF back in 2009/2010 and after a few visits to the local office and getting all required documents in, there was no reply from the office regarding my status of application (not even a reply to say if it was rejected).

I later had to leave France in late 2010 and did not continue to follow up on the matter as I wasn't sure how to.

I am just wondering if anyone has tried to request backdated support for applications which were submitted or know if the French system allows retroactive claims? Or I can just finally give up on the whole matter?

Thank you!

Give up! If there was no communication from the CAF at the time, then you weren't eligible.
