Create a bespoke compensation scheme for COVID 19 vaccine damage and bereavement
Remove the limited eligibility criteria, ensure compensation awarded is comparable with a damages award achieved through civil litigation and ensure those affected are emotionally and medically supported through the life changes and/or grief this has caused.
Indemnities; the Government indemnified the manufacturers, and therefore it is difficult for us to pursue a claim for damages through the courts. Criteria; 60% disablement criteria under the VDPS, many applicants will have significant injuries and may be disabled up to 59% and yet, based on the current scheme, they will have no access to funds via the VDPS. Pandemic; As it was an unprecedented situation therefore this supports the need for a bespoke scheme.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand you are concerned about damages and/or compensation for those left disabled following the Covid-19 vaccine. However it's not clear whether you want changes to be made to the existing Vaccine Damage Payment scheme, for a new scheme to be created, or something else. It's also not clear how you want the eligibility criteria to be changed.
You could have a petition calling for the eligibility criteria for the Vaccine Damage Payment scheme to be changed for those who have had the Covid-19 vaccine, so long as it was clear how you wanted those criteria to be changed.
