Infected Blood Compensation Scheme
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how many people who have started infected blood claims for deceased people have had their claims downgraded on the grounds of a lack of medical evidence, in particular (1) from level 2 to level 1, (2) from level 3 to level 2, and (3) from level 4 to level 3.
- Answer
-
The delivery of compensation is a matter for the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA). IBCA publishes regular statistics on its website, detailing those who have registered their intent to claim with the service and the progress in delivering compensation.
Regarding the matter of whether claims have been rejected or compensation offers lowered due to a lack of medical evidence, IBCA does not publish breakdowns either of the specific awards which individuals have been offered, or of the individual circumstances of claims.
