IHS Refund

My wife received spouse dependent visa in March of this year. I am still waiting for the IHS refund to come through. They charged around £2.2K for the IHS surcharge while the amount should be £1K for a 2.5 yr visa @ £400 per year.

There is a ~£1.2K difference that I should get back from the Home Office. Could someone please let me know how can i get this back ? I have not received any communication from the Home Office and it has been close to 3.5 months now.

Thanks seagul.

I have been through the website but there is no way to ask for a IHS refund there. If I call the number, then it goes to an automated setup where none of the options correspond to IHS refund. Can pointers would anyone much appreciated.

Thank you.

Usually they refund automatically but if they excessively delay in refund then involve your bank who usually have authority to approach the merchant.

Thank you, will try that. I am also thinking of submitting a paid query where they might be able to provide more information. I will update the group once I know more so everyone can benefit going forward.
