Call for urgent Windrush payouts as survivors say Home Office ‘waiting for us to die’ | Windrush scandal

The Windrush commissioner demanded the “Emergency Reform ın of the compensation plan after the survivors said that he expected us to“ expect us to die ”.

Rev Clive Foster, who addressed the Minister of Migration and Equality by Guardian to Minister of Migration and Equality and shared with the Minister of Interior Yette Cooper, said that 66 people were died while waiting for compensation for Windrush scandal.

The plan, which was initiated in 2019, was criticized for delays and recoils, and the workers’ government has committed to the rapid payment of those who have repeatedly been paid.

Foster, a Windrush commissioner in June, said that there was a “positive feedback veya about his personal commitment to Malhotra, but the latest developments, but the survivors continue to tell me the emotional wage of long wait, uncertain results and an opaque and unfair process”.

Foster, who made a series of suggestions to the government, said, “Considering the age and health of many people affected by the scandal, reform is a matter of urgency. Justice should be delivered in their lives.

“A statement that I have heard from the community over and over again, ‘The Ministry of the Interior is waiting for us to die’. Even though I don’t share this view, it is important that you hear the difficulty you face in the security of building it directly.”

Calling a better support for survivors, Foster proposes that the application process be reorganized to be “informed by trauma ve and makes it accessible and says that compensation should be made for retirement and future earnings losses.

He argues that the risk of people to die before they are compensated can be reduced by partial payments to people waiting for an investigation and can be reduced in cases where age and health are prioritized. In addition, performance indicators will be published for the plan, including average transaction times and satisfaction levels.

In April, the government set up a “advocacy” fund in April to support survivors, but the campaign calls for judicial assistance.

In some cases, significant increases after legal advice – Foster raises questions about the financing of the advocacy plan, and proposes an independent investigation about the “NIL Awards, compensation increases and long -term claims konuş.

He said: “The applicants I talked about because they define the application process as overwhelming and re -trauma.

Foster also explains “serious concerns ında about the victims of Windrush, who are trapped abroad in England and Wales, which says Jamaica’s new British High Commissioner and British Worker African Network Alicia Herbert.

Foster describes the lack of lack of support for individuals abroad ”, as he did not have the right to return to England and has come back to the light of George Lee, who has been stranded in Poland for 28 years, which has faced significant difficulties in rebuilding his life.

Foster also refers to Hannah Dankwa, a 81 -year -old British citizen who is trapped in bad health in Ghana, and the authorities said that an emergency travel certificate led to “too much anger ve and that the home culture has not changed yet.

In the letter, Foster said Cooper’s retirement losses that Windrush victims have been exposed to was quickly reviewed, but since the promise was “about one year ve and asked for an urges urgent update on progress”. The survivors faced “long -term economic challenges ile with the loss of their pensions and the dismissal of the existing compensation awards”.

A source of government said that a “emergency work” was assigned on the scores collected by Foster, while a home office spokesman Foster’s appointment was aimed at “directing a permanent change between the government ve and the department decided to correct the scandal’s mistakes.

“Many of them thank Rev Foster for their first suggestions, and the ministers will meet with him in a short time to discuss more improvement in our plans.”
