Post Office scandal victims victims to get more money

More than 500 subpostmasters wrongly suspected or accused of taking money by the Post Office are to get an interim payment worth around £40,000 each. Despite winning £43m in compensation in 2019, the group's funds were swallowed up due to a "No win, no fee" agreement. Many have been left with no financial resources, while being excluded from other Post Office compensation schemes. The minister says the latest payments will be made within weeks, but it's not a final amount yet. A Post Office spokesperson said that the chief executive of the Post Office, Nick Need, had been urging the government to take action on this for some time, and that "Ensuring full, fair and final compensation for all Horizon Scandal victims is a priority as we put right the wrongs of the past."
