Overview and eligibility
These pages contain the most up-to-date information about infected blood compensation amounts, and you can estimate how much you could receive when we are able to open those compensation claims.
You can claim on behalf of someone who was infected during a qualifying time window and has died with HIV, Hepatitis C or Hepatitis B through NHS treatment with blood, blood products or tissue.
If they were infected after the following dates you may need to provide further evidence around their infection:
- HIV - after November 1985
- Hepatitis C - after September 1991
- Hepatitis B - after December 1972
You need to have the legal right to manage all the things the person owned.
Registration for estates
If you’re acting on behalf of a deceased infected person, you can register your intent to claim compensation for the estate of a deceased infected person.
We understand you may have questions and need to know how your situation fits into the scheme. When you start the claim, you’ll have a claim manager to help you understand what you need to do.
Those acting on behalf of deceased affected people cannot currently register. The government has announced it will change the legal regulations so that in some cases these claims may be made in future. Once the law changes we will update the registration service.
In the meantime, we’ll keep you up to date with the latest information as it becomes available.
If you are also infected or affected
If you have been infected or have a partner or family member who is infected or if you cared for somebody who was infected, you can make separate claims for:
Interim compensation payment
You can now claim £100,000 interim compensation for the estate of someone who has died if they were registered with an existing support scheme before 17 April 2024. This amount will be deducted from the overall compensation amount you’ll receive through the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme.
