Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government why the Infected Blood Compensation Authority needs to conduct further medical checks for individuals who are recipients of interim compensation through the core route.

IBCA does not conduct medical checks on people who are claiming compensation. IBCA will request medical information to assess what severity band they sit within, and therefore, what compensation they are due. This is done by a person’s dedicated Claim Manager, and where needed, supported by a Clinical Adviser. This is critical to ensure that a person receives the compensation they are entitled to under the tariff-based compensation Scheme.
