Refund of seat selection fee on reward booking?
We have reward flights booked for August, and as lowly Blue members of the Exec Club have paid for seat selection. If, as seems increasingly possible, we (or BA) cancel these flights will we have a cash refund of the seat selection fee? I understand we will get a refund of the Avios plus fees/taxes (subject to an amendment fee), but what about the seat selection fee?
Apologies if this is a newbie question, but this is all a bit new to me!

When our BA holiday was cancelled we were told that seat booking fees would need to be claimed back separately:
”Prepaid seating refunds can be requested using the following claims form. Please mention that your booking was cancelled due to COVID-19 when submitting your form.

I already received a refund from AA for the tickets.
The BA reply says that I will hear about my refund "within 28 days". LOL
Also note that you have 30 days from the final BA operated flight in your itinerary to claim a refund.
