Anyone know how long these take with TC?

Mine is straightforward - they need to deduct the first year trading loss from my redundancy income to get the correct 2014/2015 income rather than just relying on the RTI figure. I did my tax self assessment back in May online and received the relevant tax refund.

I sent the MR in ( in time ) and it was received ( signed for ) on 22nd July.

They say 6 weeks - anyone have experience of it being longer or shorter ? they are deducting a huge overpayment which won't be once they get the figures correct.

    UPDATE - I finally heard this week my MC was approved and the very large overpayment taken off. I did have a £500 overpayment for last year - however as they had started deducting the " big " overpayment already ( then paused it pending appeal ) I had already paid this off and in fact they owed me £200 back.

    This took just over two months to sort out
