Tax
Someone I know took their NRA60 and 65 benefits early with a Feb date. By the time all the monies were paid out they were in a new tax year and taxed accordingly. If they were paid their taxable lump sums in Feb they would have paid no tax last year and that would have also meant less "earnings" this year. As it is they are now likely to break their £12,570 allowance for the year. Has anyone tried to have a conversation with RM (late payment) or HMRC to split their payments over two years as should have been paid?

Re: Tax
I'm no tax expert, but as far as I'm aware, it's not possible to carry the Personal Tax Allowance forward or back. It's case of any income is taxed in the financial year you receive it.
HMRC are in charge of tax, so any conversation would need to be with them. But I wouldn't have thought they would budge.
Has your friend already contacted them? What did they say?
One possible way to reduce the impact may be to take advantage of the Marriage Allowance, if they fit the criteria: https://www.gov.uk/marriage-allowance
