As of 3 April 2019, the Child Migrants Trust had received 1,590 expressions of interest and issued 1,316 forms to former British child migrants, to enable them to apply for the payment. 666 completed forms have been received. These will be checked before passing the details to the NHS Business Services Authority to arrange for the payment to be made.

We expect the first payments to be made on or soon after 5 April.
