I have been in touch with hmrc call center about my tax refund for 2023 & 2024 numerous times and always told the same broken rekord that refunding it's taking longer because of security checks! Is this a joke? It's been OVER A YEAR since my self assessment from 2023 and over 5 months since the 2024 one. Both amounts for 23 & 24 are showing up in my account as ready to refund, and no mather how many times I apply for refund, nothing happened. What is going on? The goverment sends money abroad to help other countries and other people but what about us? I've read the comments here and looks like there's many in my situation. I need an explanation better than "security checks"
