Post Office Family Scheme - Update August 2025
Our Dispute Resolution team met with Government representatives on 30 July. During that meeting, it was confirmed that the Government is committed to establishing a scheme to deliver full and fair compensation to the family members of those affected by the Horizon scandal.
The precise details of the scheme - including eligibility criteria - are still being developed. We will continue to press the Government as they work through the rules and requirements. As you’ll appreciate, setting up a scheme of this nature will take time but we’ll provide updates as soon as we have more information to share. We anticipate the next substantive update will be in the Autumn.
If you have any questions or would like to register your interest in the scheme, simply follow the link provided on this page.
