So if after a couple of weeks you have not received your refund then you should be OK to escalate via the BA Refund Helper after that point. I'm told that some refund specialists in India are now back at work, which hopefully will improve the response time.
Thanks both for your prompt response - hopefully by 21st May I see a refund but if not I will escalate to the BA refund helper who was incredibly helpful last time.
Thanks to you both as well for your help not just to me but to 100s of others in this forum.
