Calculating compensation for care and financial loss
We’ll calculate ‘care’ and ‘financial loss’ compensation for different periods and levels of severity of the person’s infection.
To do this, we’ll use set measures about how much the infection was likely to impact them over time. You can also provide medical records if they’re available to show their infection severity was different to the set measures.
Your claim manager will discuss this with you and guide you through the process.
Compensation for financial loss
This table shows the amounts of financial loss compensation.
| Type of loss | Description | Compensation amount |
|---|---|---|
| Extra costs because of their infection | A set amount to cover costs such as insurance and extra transport | £12,500 set amount |
| Lost earnings before retirement age (66) | Compensation for lost income | Up to £29,657 per year, depending on how severe their illness was |
| Lost earnings after retirement age (set as age 66) | 50% of the compensation for lost earnings before retirement age (set as age 66) | Up to £14,828.50 per year, depending on how severe their illness was |
