Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the average time period is for issuing payments via the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme.
This question was answered on 29th January 2025
Between November 2021 and January 2025, the average time period for issuing payments following confirmation of a successful claim was 46 calendar days.
A payment can only be made once bank details and identification verification has been received from the claimant. Once received, the NHS Business Services Authority operates a 10-working day service level agreement for the payment to be processed.
