You are not affected by this change so you do not deserve a fee refund.
Yes, however you should have your extension money refunded of £350 when you were given 1 year extension.

All applicants have to apply at least 1 extension. And simialry you also appleid for one extension which costed you 750.
You should have been given an automatic refund of 350 for the first application. And yes, if you would have gained extension no the basis of this applicatin then 2nd extension was never needed. But you did not get it because of accountant letter. This error is on your part.
Above is just my opinion.. i may be wrong.

For more info, here's a thread from 2009 about second extension refunds:

"We are continuing to correct those which fall within the policy agreed in response to the Judicial Review and will consider refunding fees if we find any unnecessary applications were made."
There is a thread about it:

I think your son should be covered by this new refund (though he could have applied to the expired one in 2009). This is because he should have been given a 4 year extension in 2007.
