Good morning, does anyone know how far back I can go for a refund on these?

I have been overpaying since 2011 as they had the unit size wrong and its actually 15m2 smaller than they thought.

Thanks

Chris will be along later to confirm, but I think you are backstopped to 1st April 2015 now.

Correct,

We have just found out we have been overpaying since 2010, but were only able to get a refund back to start of 2015.

Totally corrupt, if we owed them from 5 years ago they would want payment Im sure.

Its around 2k they should owe me so not really pocket change.

Its down to the VOA measuring incorrectly before I had the unit as well thats the worst part.

Yes unless you have an outstanding proposal to alter reductions can only be back dated to 1 April 2015, the good news increases can only be back dated to then as well.
