Marriage Allowance applied for and successful but no payment received?

KiT155

I applied for the Marriage Tax allowance through HMRC website back in April. I had an email to say this was successful and that my partner would be sent a cheque in the post.

This was 3 months ago to the day. How long should I be waiting for this payment and is there anything I can do to chase it up?

Hi, I would chase them up, I was also waiting 3 months, rang them and was told they were waiting for my pension provider to send them something or other but saw that as I'd had my tax code altered to include the this years allowance, they could issue me last years cheque.

Received £211 less than a week after ringing them.::T

Just realised, my husband applied for the marriage allowance but I rang them to chase up the cheque which was due to me, as backdated overpayment for 2015/2016..

DH applied to transfer his bit to me in March, but too late for anything to happen last tax year. My code changed in April, but the refund for 2015-16 only arrived a couple of weeks ago.

im having the same issue with marriage allowance. we have been told since end of april that there is a issue with the system and been told at least 3 different dates of when payment will happen but so far nothing. im confused as to why some people are being paid and some not we have even had paperwork from tax office where it shows £212 is owing. they can never really answer what the actual delay is and i have tried to google it and nothing comes up.

Are you sure the "paperwork" you received didn't include a cheque?
If you haven't had the money yet exactly what is it you have received because most people who are entitled to receive the allowance won't actually get the full £212 so it seems odd for you (or your spouse?) to have received something quoting that figure as you normally only get the full amount if you claim early enough for it to be included in the tax code
