<p>I apologise for the delay in responding to this question, which was due to a departmental
administrative error.</p><p>Information on the total number of claims paid and the
overall amount paid out by the scheme is available to view on GOV.UK at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/windrush-compensation-scheme-data-september-2020"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/windrush-compensation-scheme-data-september-2020</a>.</p><p>Information
relating to estimated costs including compensation payments are referred to in the
Home Office’s Impact Assessment IA No: HO 0329 dated 29/1/20. The Home Office has
secured funding from HM Treasury for the scheme, and there is no cap on the amount
of compensation an individual can receive.</p><p>We do not publish information on
waiting times for decisions to be taken on Windrush Compensation Scheme claims. This
could jeopardise a full assessment of the claim and ultimately be potentially detrimental
to the claimant. Furthermore, as each claim is unique, we do not prescribe a set list
of documentation but work with claimants to obtain evidence when required.</p>
