Thank you for your request for information about the following: 

##Request 

‘I would like to know the number of claims due to the Covid vaccination and the number of claims that have been both put through to independent medical assessor, and how many of those have been compensated and for how much ( average)’ 

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) received your request on 6 June 2024.

##Our response 

All data is as of 7 June 2024. All data relates to claims received by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) and those transferred from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on 1 November 2021. All figures provided relate to COVID-19 vaccine claims. 

13,506 COVID claims have been received by the VDPS. 

7,585 claims have been shared with an independent medical assessor. 

176 claimants have been notified that they are entitled to a Vaccine Damage Payment. 

Please note, the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) provides a one-off tax-free payment, currently a set amount of £120,000, to successful applicants where, on very rare occasions, a vaccine has caused severe disablement. The VDPS is not a compensation scheme. A claimant could still seek damages in court.

On 25 May 2024, you clarified your response as follows: 
 
Please provide all the standard training documents, protocols and contracts including details of pay for the assessors shared with the medical assessors for the vaccine damage payment scheme. 
 
#Response#
The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) took over the administration of the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) from the Department for Work and Pensions on 1 November 2021. Following the transfer of the VDPS, we procured a contract with Crawford & Co for the completion of independent medical assessments.  
 
The VDPS provides a one-off tax-free payment, currently £120,000, to successful applicants where, on very rare occasions, a vaccine has caused severe disablement. The VDPS is not a compensation scheme – meaning a claimant could still seek damages in court. 
 
We have considered this request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA 2000) and are issuing a refusal notice under section 17 of the FOIA.  
 
The NHSBSA does hold the requested information; however, we consider that this information is exempt from disclosure under section 21 of FOIA. This provides an exemption from the duty to disclose information where this is reasonably accessible to an applicant by other means.

I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act, which I received on 25 March 2024 for information about the following: 

Are you able to confirm if the NHSBSA holds data on the number of decisions made regarding Permanent Injury Benefit [PIB] that were overturned via ombudsman or tribunal decisions?

##Response 

I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHS Business Services Authority. 
The Pensions Ombudsman cannot overturn a Permanent Injury Benefit (PIB) decision. The Ombudsman is responsible for ensuring that cases have been considered correctly in accordance with the NHS Injury Benefits Regulations. If they feel it has not, then they would ask us to reconsider it afresh.

Tribunals do not form part of the NHSBSA’s Complaints procedure. If a claimant remains dissatisfied with the outcome of a claim, then they would go to the Pensions Ombudsman. Tribunals tend to be between an employee and employer.
