UK to Extend Comp to Vaccine Victims

The families of vaccine-damaged children were last night celebrating after the

Daily Express forced the Government of the UK to confirm a new law extending

compensation.

The current law denies payments to families of many brain-damaged and disabled

children. But after a campaign by a London newspaper the Daily Express, Tony

Blair ordered changes to the 1979 Vaccine Damage Payment Act, which currently

applies to children who are more than 80 per cent disabled and who claim

compensation within a six-year limit.

Last June Social Security Secretary Alistair Darling promised a new law at " the

earliest opportunity, " reducing the disability threshold to 60 per cent and

increasing the claim cut-off age to 21.

Bye, vice-chair of the Vaccine Victims Support Group and parent of a

vaccine-damaged son, said: " I am so very, very happy. These families have waited

so long for justice. This is a step in the right direction, but we still need to

keep on campaigning to lower the disability level. " However she added: " We are

very relieved that the Government has kept its promise. "
