Jamie has received £120,000 – the maximum payout from the government’s Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme.
His wife, who is clear that neither of them is against vaccines, says he will never work again and that this is not a fair or adequate amount.
“The scheme is inadequate and inefficient – offers too little too late and to too few,” she said.
The inquiry heard that figures from a Freedom of Information request by VIBUK show that, as of 30 November 2024, victims and their families have made 17,519 claims to the scheme.
Of these:
194 have been notified that they are entitled to the payment
1,027 people have waited more than 12 months for a decision
