We've been through this already Azimscot. New fees will only apply to a pending application if the original application has been rejected and the fee not taken. Your particular problem relates to the UKBA not taking the fee and rejecting the application due (as they say) to the payment page not being included.
In normal circumstances if an application is processed the fee at the time this was submitted applies...and isn't subject to any subsequent increases while it is awaiting a decision.
The majority of straightforward postal applications for ILR at present are taking around 12 weeks on average.
