"You've come across a generation who are not ready to give up." @GlendaCaesar on Westminster Hour yesterday. In addition to his excellent interview, @Jack_W_Fenwick established through FOI requests that 9 people have died before getting compensation. [1/3] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54748038
This proves indisputably that @ukhomeoffice knows of the rate at which claims are outliving claimants; it was "at least 5" as of 7 July this year. As time passes, more people are dying, without the compensation to which they are *entitled*.

If you scroll to the bottom of @Jack_W_Fenwick's article, you'll see @ukhomeoffice has again cut and pasted a boilerplate reply. If you don't believe us, compare it to the response in @maybulman's excellent article 3 days ago [3/4] : https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/windrush-compensation-delays-home-office-b1420691.html
That's enough now, @ukhomeoffice. @pritipatel evidently can't (or won't) sit up and take this seriously, but a slew of Labour MPs including @NickTorfaen, @KateOsamor and @BellRibeiroAddy have tweeted today about the Westminster Hour piece. So let us help you: [4/5]
Here is a letter to @NickTorfaen setting out the worrying implications of the Scheme failing to pay claimants whilst they are alive. We hope it makes clear that @ukhomeoffice appears to be playing a sinister long-game. [5/6] https://www.scribd.com/document/482588423/2020-11-02-Letter-to-NTS-Re-Estate-Claims
