Can't imagine you will get any preferential treatment, imagine plenty will be in same boat. If your looking at same time next year imagine you would have to wait until your office allocates a/l. Most offices are different in how the allocate leave maybe you could start the process earlier? Don't inagine there will be time limit if you are given holiday voucher rather than refund?

Cant offer any advice on getting leave at a latter date but if you get the option of a refund or holiday at a latter date I would take the refund as unfortunately I can see a lot of these travel company’s not surviving.

I thought the government had recently said that if you need to cancel annual leave due to Corona Virus, then companies had to allow you to carry the days over for 2 years.

This is correct but you just know Royal Mail won’t want to do this .
