What about people who did not need an extension to their existing LTR (under pre April-2006 HSMP), but had to wait an extra 1 year and thus incur the increased fee (effective from April 2007) for settlement application ?

In the end, if you are owed a refund, you can fill out a form to request it. You do not need to rely that upon obtaining ILR it will occur to the HO to refund you. I already had Citizenship by the time the JR was made into effect. I sent in the refund form about 2 months ago and just got a letter ...
