Delay in PAYE adjustments?

Mar 20 sent into claim the 'transfer of tax from Mrs Bob. got a letter back from HMRC late March advising that tax code change from 274 to 380 for year 2015/16.
Fast forward to April pension pay. no sign of the £212 backpay for 2015/6
No note from pension office advising tax code change for 2016/7
Rang pension office, recorded message said ring HMRC

    If your tax code wasn't updated by your employer/pension provider before the end of 2015/16 tax year you won't get the rebate through PAYE.

    So what happens next? all the sites i have seen says that a rebate will be applied for the whole year. Therefore who puts the£212.00 in my pocket?
    Recorded messages dont allow me to ask questions!

    The rebate for this year will be applied throughout the whole year, you were just a little late for it to be applied last year.

    HMRC will most likely pick it up later in the year but if you can't wait then you should discuss getting a rebate for last year with HMRC.

    Any repayment for 2015/16 will be paid to you by HMRC when they reconcile your pay/tax deducted and code number.
    This will be dealt in due course, as you will now be one of many to be dealt with, hence the recorded message.

    Your new code for 2016/17 should be applied by your pension payer on a monthly basis meaning you pay £212/12 less tax each month.

    Actually, when I tweeted HMRC to ask this same question, they said that was exactly what would happen. They didn't say when!
