What interest should I receive for store card PPI? DP/Genworth

Hi - I wonder if anyone can help answer my question. This is the first time I've posted so hopefully this wll work!

I am in the process of claiming back PPI on behalf of my Mum and, after writing to Santander then FOS then Genworth, we finally received an offer for a reimbursement of the premiums paid plus 8% simple interest.

However, these premiums were added to the total balance of the store card each month and there was a very high interest rate being paid on this balance. Therefore should we not receive this interest back too (i.e. the additional interest that was paid as a result of the premiums?) Or do store cards only calculate interest on purchases and not on the total balance?

I would be really grateful of any thoughts/answers.

Many Thanks!
