<p>The Windrush Compensation Scheme staff are working hard to ensure cases are prioritised
for claimants with critical or life-limiting illnesses.</p><p>In the unfortunate circumstances
where a claimant has passed away after submitting a compensation claim, before the
claim is fully resolved, the team continues to work closely with the appointed representative,
usually members of the family, to ensure the compensation payment is made as quickly
as possible to the family member.</p><p>At the end of April 2023, in line with the
latest published Transparency data, out of the 6,122 claims received by the Windrush
Compensation Scheme, we are aware of 41 claimants who have unfortunately passed away
after having submitted a claim.</p><p>Please note that this data is manually recorded
and is reliant on the person receiving the information on a claimant’s death, notifying
the Windrush Compensation Scheme to record this information.</p>
