Today (27 August 2026) we have released our latest registration and compensation figures.
All the figures on this page are correct as at 25 August 2026.
Where fewer than 10 people have registered, been contacted or started the claim process in a reporting period, we don’t report the increase in people figures. This is to protect people’s privacy and make sure no one can be identified. We still increase and report on the financial values where applicable.
Registration progress
IBCA opened the ‘register your intent’ service on 9 October 2025.
Since then, we have received 20,487 registrations of intent to make a compensation claim with us.
This figure represents individual registrations, not unique people or claims. This is because some people may have registered more than once.
The living infected figure below does not include those claiming as living with infection and registered with a support scheme, as they should already have been contacted beforehand.

Payment routes
- ‘Core’ route: Where people have chosen to receive a lump sum compensation payment from IBCA and if registered with a support scheme, to stop receiving regular support scheme payments for life. Some people may have chosen to receive their lump sum in instalments over 5, 10 or 25 years.
- ‘Adjusted’ route: Where people registered with a support scheme have chosen to receive an adjusted lump sum compensation payment from IBCA as well as continuing to receive regular support scheme payments for life.
The ‘core’ route compensation figure is all amounts IBCA has paid to people who chose this option.
The ‘adjusted’ route compensation figure only includes the adjusted amount paid by IBCA; it doesn’t include the continued regular support scheme payments.
- Compensation paid through the ‘core’ route: £1,511,849,959.23
- Compensation paid through the ‘adjusted’ route: £746,659,524.06
