[Chris (#Scandal still NO Justice PO GF WR) @Chrisviews43]

Survivors of the Home Office Windrush scandal who seek compensation should receive the same free legal support given to victims of the Post Office and Infected Blood scandals, a new JUSTICE report has found.
In recent years, the government has set up a series of compensation schemes in response to all three state injustices – yet only Windrush victims have been denied free legal help with their claims.

The Home Office – which runs the Windrush Compensation Scheme - has argued the process is more straightforward than the others and says it was designed to be accessible without free legal support.

But in a new report, JUSTICE and King's College London have found the Windrush scheme is at least as complicated as the others, involving assessments of historic laws, facts and evidence that are complex even for lawyers and judges.

The failure to provide Windrush survivors free legal support unfairly disadvantages them, increasing the likelihood that they will miss out on compensation they deserve.

A 70yo Windrush scandal victim who lost his job & his home says he has been awarded £00.00 from the Home Office’s compensation scheme after requesting a review 3 times. Latest figures show that a shocking 64% of Windrush claimants have been denied a payout https://t.co/vVbLNtd8Qn

@JacquiMckenzie6 I have to agree with this statement, because something definitely wrong.

It’s now 2024, The scandal is still here, many victims are still living in the same misery and stress! We need a new, independent compensation scheme, Free legal advice for all and a Windrush inquiry!

On the 75th anniversary of Windrush, why are so many victims of the scandal still waiting for money? Will they ever get justice?
