What happens to your current support payments
If you’re getting regular support payments from an existing support scheme, you can choose to continue getting support payments or not.
This choice only affects the ‘care’ and ‘financial loss’ parts of your compensation.
If you continue with your support payments you’ll get both:
- your payments from the existing scheme as you do now and for the rest of your life
- your IBCA compensation as described on these pages, but ‘care’ and ‘financial loss’ payment will only cover past years, not future years
If you choose to stop getting your support payments, you’ll get your full IBCA compensation as described on these pages. This includes past and future financial loss compensation.
You’ll get a top up payment to make sure you’re not left worse off if your continuing support payments are less than you would have got through IBCA.
The best option for you will depend on your personal situation. Your claim manager will support you so that you’re comfortable with your decision.
