Apply for an infected blood interim compensation payment as an estate
Eligibility
The estate can apply if all of the following are true:
- the person who died registered with an Infected Blood Support Scheme (IBSS) or an Alliance House Organisation Scheme (AHOS) on or before 17 April 2024
- the person who died, their bereaved partner or their estate has not already received a compensation payment of £100,000
- the person was living in the UK or Republic of Ireland at the time of their death
The estate’s eligibility will be checked as part of the application.
If the person who died registered with an IBSS or AHOS after 17 April 2024 you’ll be able to claim compensation under the main Infected Blood Compensation Scheme. Sign up for updates on the scheme.
Who can apply on behalf of the estate
You must have a grant of probate, letters of administration or a grant of confirmation (in Scotland) to apply.
If you already have probate, you do not need to apply for it again.
You can check if probate has already been granted before you apply.
You can apply on behalf of an executor if you hold power of attorney.
