IHS Refund

hi All

https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigrati ... -needs-pay says

"Who does not need to pay or get an IHS reference number
You’ll be able to use the NHS without paying the surcharge or getting a reference number if:

you’re applying for indefinite leave to enter or remain"


"
which contradicts with https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigrati ... on/refunds that says

You will not get a refund if:

your visa application is successful but you do not come to the UK
you’re applying for indefinite leave to remain


Could someone please clarify the confusion?

For ILR, you don't pay IHS surcharge.
