Windrush

The Windrush Scheme and Claiming Compensation

Have you or your client been affected by the Windrush scandal?

Whilst the Government has finally admitted that the thousands of people who arrived in the UK from Caribbean countries as British subjects between 1948 and 1973 were not actually illegal immigrants or undocumented migrants, and that they have the legal right to remain in the UK as British citizens, the scandal is far from over, and many of those affected are yet to receive justice and the compensation to which they are entitled.

The Windrush Scheme

The Windrush Scheme has been put in place to allow those settled in the UK but lack the documents to prove it, to apply for documentation that will allow them to live and work here.

The Windrush Compensation Scheme has also been set up to allow those who suffered losses because they were unable to show they had the right to live in the UK to claim compensation. Losses could be things such as being unable to work, find a place to live or claim medical treatment.
