Child benefit for when it’s been stopped and reinstated? (Title edited by MNHQ at the request of the OP)

My CB was stopped last month due to DC being 16. I had filled out the online form but HMRC wrote to me asking for more information as DC is home educated. I have now checked online after getting a text from HMRC saying it had been updated but there is nothing about future payments. I have missed a whole 4 week payment plus another week and a bit. Will this be sent as a back payment soon or do I not get the money for the period while it was stopped? Or do I get it when my next payment is due later this month?

Sorry for the long text, I wish they would just give payment dates rather then leave people hanging

edited to clarify when I checked o line it states my CB ends in 2028 now
