Human Rights Watch says claimants’ rights are being violated, with high obstacles to making claims and low awards
The Windrush compensation scheme is failing claimants and violating their rights, the first international study into the government’s handling of the immigration scandal has concluded.
The Human Rights Watch report is critical of the Home Office’s slow progress towards compensating those affected by the scandal in which thousands of UK residents were wrongly categorised as immigration offenders, and called on the government to launch “urgent reform to protect the rights of claimants”.
