Long wait for tax refund

in Cutting tax
My wife was taxed on her pension income last year even though it was below her personal allowance. I understand that this was because of the way she was coded. We applied for a refund at the end of the tax year but ten weeks later, we haven't received it. Is such a delay normal and are they obliged to pay interest for the delayed payment?

Why did you wait to the end of the tax year? There are special forms to make such a refund claim.
Get your wife to log onto her personal tax account (gov.uk) to check the status of her repayment - I think there is a tool to track progress of correspondence.
Yes she will be paid interest if the repayment isn't issued until after 31 January 2018.0 -
Because it was taken as a single payment in March and we used the correct form to apply for the refund.0
