Today (12 November 2026) we have released our latest registration and compensation figures.
All the figures on this page are correct as at 31 October 2026.
Where fewer than 10 people have registered, been contacted or started the claim process in a reporting period, we don’t report the increase in people figures. This is to protect people’s privacy and make sure no one can be identified. We still increase and report on the financial values where applicable.
The exception to this is for people who are infected and registered with an existing support scheme, where we know everyone eligible to claim. Since everyone in this group has now been asked to start their claim, we can publish final figures for the group. You may still see small increases as invited people start their claim. For other groups, registration is still open and the total number of people who may claim is not yet known.
Registration progress
IBCA opened the ‘register your intent’ service on 9 October 2025.
Since then, we have received 21,811 registrations of intent to make a compensation claim with us.
This figure represents individual registrations, not unique people or claims. This is because some people may have registered more than once.
The living infected figure below does not include those claiming as living with infection and registered with a support scheme, as they should already have been contacted beforehand.
| Group | Registrations |
|---|---|
| Living infected people, or their representative | 1,566 |
| Living affected people, or their representative | 16,381 |
| Living infected and affected people, or their representative | 395 |
| People acting on behalf of a deceased infected person | 3,238 |
| People acting on behalf of a deceased affected person | 231 |
| Total registrations | 21,811 |

Payment routes
‘Core’ route
Where people have chosen to receive a lump sum compensation payment from IBCA and if registered with a support scheme, to stop receiving regular support scheme payments for life. Some people may have chosen to receive their lump sum in instalments over 5, 10 or 25 years.
‘Adjusted’ route
Where people registered with a support scheme have chosen to receive an adjusted lump sum compensation payment from IBCA as well as continuing to receive regular support scheme payments for life.
‘Supplementary’ route
Where people who have received compensation from IBCA may be eligible for additional awards. This applies in exceptional cases where the level of core compensation does not fully reflect the financial losses or care costs a person has experienced. We are currently preparing to open the service for supplementary claims.
| Payment route | Compensation paid |
|---|---|
| ‘Core’ route | £1,749,216,651.76 |
| ‘Adjusted’ route | £761,684,180.92 |
The ‘core’ route compensation figure is all amounts IBCA has paid to people who chose this option.
The ‘adjusted’ route compensation figure only includes the adjusted amount paid by IBCA; it doesn’t include the continued regular support scheme payments.
