Should I give my ex wife anything from my PPI refund?

Contact the bank and ask if the settlement includes her portion as well, if it does, then definitely give her half. She took 50% of the liability, so she should get 50% of any refund.
If it's just your half, don't mention it.

Only you know what the financial situation was like at the time you split up and are in a position to make that call.

I'll use my own situation as an example -

When I separated from my ex-wife I was left with a great deal of unsecured debt in my name, for things we had purchased for the house. New kitchen, new bathroom, unsecured in my name, but as we had children she kept the house. She contributed nothing towards this debt, and I paid it all off on my own.
If there had been a theoretical joint loan which we both paid off equally for which I received a PPI settlement I would not have passed this on to the ex-wife, as I would have seen this as her contribution towards the joint debt that I had personally settled, and which she continues to see the benefits from.

That would be my thought process.

She got the house the kids and you still had to pay for all the stuff? LOL mate I would feel for you but then you did sign the marriage certificate.

To the OP: If she has been contributing her share to paying off the loan then she deserves half. If not then its all yours.
 
Was the original Mischief the cross dresser? Or am I mis-remembering, sure there was a prolific poster who was either a x-dresser or full transexual?
 
I’d give her sweet FA, she could’ve put the claim in but didn’t so she’s obviously not that bothered. I’d consider giving half to charity mind, which I’ve done before when getting free cash for some reason. (IE double refund on train compo and the likes)

Is it fair? Probably not, but hey life’s not fair.
 
I think it’s mental that 75% of people posting this thread haven’t said “pay off the damn loan” rather than positing how OP should divide what people seem to think is free spending money.

OP offer the debt collection company the full amount of the ppi refund in settlement of the whole loan (without telling them where you’re getting the money). See what they say. With so much defaulting at the moment they might be glad of a lump sum. Then you and the ex are better off.
