Chris Seeks Statistics On Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme Failures Due To Causes
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, of the claims to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme relating to covid-19 vaccinations, how many claims made before 6 September 2023 failed because (a) causation was accepted but disablement was assessed at less than 60%, (b) there was a lack of causation and (c) any other reason.
Maria Caulfield The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) (Minister for Women)
Data up to 6 September 2023 is not currently available. Since the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) took over administration of the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme in November 2021, as of 1 September 2023, NHSBSA has 3,030 rejected COVID-19 claims. 2,809 were rejected due to lack of causation and 221 were rejected due to not meeting the 60% disability threshold. Separately, 192 claims were invalid as they did not meet the eligibility to apply under the Scheme, and therefore are not considered as rejected.
