Overpayment of Tax Credit- should I appeal?

Hi, my wife received a letter today advising they had overpaid her child tax credit, approx £350.
We phoned them up to query and they said it was due to myself moving back into the marital home. Dates...
16/4/2011 - I moved back into home;
19/4/2011 - We rang HMRC to advise this;
25/4/2011 - Wife received tax credit of £609.
I'm not too impressed that it's taken 18 months to get round to it, but there's worse things going on in the world. Is it worth appealing on account of them not adjusting the tax credit accordingly, or the time it's taken, or am I just being greedy...
