The 1st person in UK paid Covid Vaccine Injury compensation

A woman whose fiancé died after having the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine will become the first person in the UK to receive a Covid vaccine damage payment of £120,000.
Ms Spit’s partner, musician Lord Zion, died two weeks after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine in May 2021. It was later confirmed by a coroner that his death was caused as a direct result of the jab.
Despite applying for the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme in early June of the same year, Ms Spit waited over a year for confirmation that she would receive the settlement.

She said: “I had to take out loans to cover costs after Zion died, I had to borrow money from family. The amount isn’t acceptable. This amount hasn’t risen since 2007.”

She said her household income had "massively dropped" since her partner's death and that people who should have been looked after had instead been left in the dark feeling like another statistic.

The couple, who performed together in the band Spit Like This, were due to get married in 2021.

The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme was set up in 1979 to provide a lump sum if one is “severely disabled as a result of a vaccination against certain diseases.”

The scheme has come under criticism from the Covid vaccine injured and bereaved for not being fit for purpose as the threshold for “severely disabled” is controversially held at 60%.
