LPA fee refund

[netsy22]

Has anyone applied for a partial refund of fees for a LPA? If so, did you get one and how long did it take? I put a claim in ages ago, at the beginning of March, (after my mum died) and I have heard nothing.

I have now heard from them. They are behind schedule with the refunds.
