There was a thread about it some months ago and we claimed and it does work! I think we just had to send off a copy of the POA and Death cert.

Researching:
Staffordshire, Warwickshire

If you registered a Power of Attorney between April 2013 and March 2017 you may be entitled to a refund of part of your fee. This is because the Office of the Public Guardian did not reduce its fees when it should have done!!

To claim on-line go to https://claim-power-of-attorney-refund.service.gov.uk/start

For more info, or help email [email protected]

Or tel. 0300 456 0300 (choose option 6). This service is available Mon., Tues., Thurs. and Fri. from 9-5 and Wed. from 10-5.

I haven't tried any of this because it doesn't apply to Scotland, but good luck to anyone who does.
