NHS/IHS surcharge refund after getting ILR?

[plabo]

Hi

I am on a Tier 2 General work permit holder which was renewed in July 2015 and will expire in July 2017.

I will be eligible for ILR in February 2017 and was wondering whatever excess NHS Health surcharge I have paid till July 2017, will I be able to get a refund of it (i.e from March 2017 till July 2017)?

If yes, can someone please let know how.

Thank you

I see recently many posts on forum about this IHS refund issue. I think it is very much clear that on this cases there will not be any refund.

refund when
1. they approve visa less than applied for (less than IHS paid period) or visa not grant for an application.
2. when you move to another category and pay new IHS charges (if that category required), they will refund for the overlapping period if it is 6 months or more.
