You should get an involuntary fare refund if you want it, It's not usually 50% of what you paid, it's usually nearer 40% of the flight component. This is because the (typically) more expensive of the two sectors, LHR-USA, has been flown already. But currently you would need to call up for that, it will definitely be a manual recalculation and almost certainly will take a number of weeks to be refunded. You don't have a voucher option, but you do have the rebooking option. You best try to find a flight in the same fare bucket, and this is likely to be the best value outcome overall. It can of course be for many months away from now. If you rebook to -3/+14 days then there shouldn't be any extra cost, over 14 days there could be.
