Proof of PPI to HMRC

strawb_shortcake

Has anyone else been asked for proof of the PPI payment by HMRC? I sent off for my Husband's rebate, 3 days later the government gateway said they'd sent a response. I did mine and had the same, then a letter asking for proof of my PPI, I couldn't find the letter and waiting for Lloyds to resend, they gave me the figures over the phone and this is what I used for the R40. 
My Husband's government gateway account now says he's owed £278, so I'm a bit peeved that I've done the legwork and if Lloyds don't send me the letter I can't get a refund. But I'm also worrying that I may have made a mistake with tax credits when I got the PPI as i didn't twig I needed to declare the interest hence the proof request??
Anyone else had this? 
And will my Husband be sent a cheque or do I/he need to claim through the gateway?

Bit of a confusing post.

Which part of HMRC has asked for the evidence?

He doesn't need to claim the refund online if he doesn't want to.  HMRC will send him a cheque in 6 weeks or so if he doesn't bother.  But won't banking a cheque be more work than claiming it online?

Don't think you are meant it pick and choose which bits of HMRC you declare taxable income to  .  Although I think tax credits might have a £300 threshold for interest?

Bit of a confusing post. Sorry

Which part of HMRC has asked for the evidence? Who ever recieved the R40

He doesn't need to claim the refund online if he doesn't want to.  HMRC will send him a cheque in 6 weeks or so if he doesn't bother.  But won't banking a cheque be more work than claiming it online? I didn't want to risk them sending a cheque as well as online, - can you tell I'm not au fait with tax rebates?

Don't think you are meant it pick and choose which bits of HMRC you declare taxable income to  .  Although I think tax credits might have a £300 threshold for interest - I know, I  really didn't realise this at the time, we also had quite a serious car accident at the time of the payout and had other matters on our mind at the time
