Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme for covid-19 vaccinations will prioritise the processing of claims where the claimant’s diagnosed condition has an association acknowledged by inclusion in the Product Information warnings provided by MHRA.

All claims submitted to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme are clinically assessed on a case-by-case basis once all the claimant’s medical records are gathered. The NHS Business Services Authority, who administer the scheme, have established a team of caseworkers to ensure all claims are processed as quickly as possible.
