Under paid tax.. ESC A19 Help.

I think the answer to this question might well be 'No'.
My understanding is that ESC A19 applies where HMRC is given some information and then fails to act on it within 12 months after the end of the tax year in which the information was received. Or to put it another way, if HMRC bogs up someone's tax codes for 2009/10 it has until the 5th April 2011 to correct its own mistakes. Presuming here that mum's 'lowered tax code' was issued prior to that date?
Someone will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong.
I thought this after i thought about it for a while, may as well ask anyway.0
