Law firms join forces as estimates suggest only 17% of those affected by Home Office policy have applied
Concern over the low level of applications to the Windrush compensation scheme has prompted eight leading law firms to join forces to offer free legal advice on completing applications to people affected by the scandal.
Two years after the launch of the compensation programme only 1,996 claims have been made. Official estimates had indicated that more than 12,000 people could be eligible, suggesting that only 17% of those affected have applied.
