Making it easier to discover if you are eligible for compensation 

What is the Windrush Compensation Scheme?

The Windrush Compensation Scheme provides financial redress for those who have suffered losses and detriment because they could not prove their right to live in the UK.

The scheme aims to compensate for impacts such as loss of earnings, destitution, refusal of access to medical services and refusal of public funds.

There is no charge to apply.
