Vaccine Damage Payments Offer £120,000 for Severe Side Effects
A Vaccine Damage Payment offers a financial lifeline to those suffering serious health issues after receiving specific vaccines, including COVID-19 shots. This scheme provides a one-off payment of £120,000 to individuals who have developed a severe disability from a covered vaccine.
Eligibility for Compensation
The Vaccine Damage Payment is available to people who have acquired a significant disability caused by certain vaccinations. The extent of disablement is assessed using percentages, with a rating of 60% or higher considered severe. This can be a physical or mental disability supported by medical documentation. For the most part, the vaccine should have been administered before the recipient’s 18th birthday, except if given during a disease outbreak. Furthermore, the vaccination must have occurred in the UK or the Isle of Man, unless it was part of medical treatment through the armed forces.

Recent data indicates that vaccine-related adverse reactions are very rare, with serious side effects occurring in only a tiny fraction of recipients (CDC 2024).
Qualifying Vaccines
A wide variety of vaccines are eligible for this payment if they resulted in severe disability. These vaccines cover a range of illnesses, including coronavirus (COVID-19), measles, tetanus, and others. Some may have been given as part of a combined vaccine, but they still qualify for the scheme.
How to Claim
Payments are generally made to the claimant if they are over 18 and can manage their own finances; otherwise, a trustee receives the payment. Claims can be submitted online or via post through the NHSBSA website. For children, claims can be made once they turn two years old. Adults must apply either by their 21st birthday or within six years of vaccination, whichever comes later.
The Vaccine Damage Payment is not considered a compensation scheme. Claimants may still pursue legal action for compensation even if their application for payment is successful.
