Victims of the UK’s infected blood scandal are facing delays in interim compensation payments, as many families received letters stating their applications have been put on hold. Despite initially being told they would receive payments of £100,000, several families must now supply additional documentation. The Haemophilia Society has criticized this process as ‘unacceptably cruel’ and has called for government accountability. There is growing concern among families about the conflicting information provided regarding their claims, further straining their trust in the compensation process.
