Delays in Pension Payments Severely Impact Mental Health of Victims
September 11, 2025 - 11:10
The ongoing delays in pension payments have taken a significant toll on the mental health of victims, as recent reports highlight the struggles faced by many. The compensation scheme has received a staggering 11,800 applications, yet only 1,700 claims have been processed and paid out, amounting to a total of £107 million.
Victims have expressed feelings of anxiety, frustration, and despair as they await financial support that is crucial for their well-being. The backlog in processing applications has left many individuals feeling abandoned, exacerbating their mental health challenges.
Advocates for victims are calling for urgent reforms to expedite the claims process, emphasizing that timely access to funds is essential for recovery and stability. The psychological impact of financial uncertainty cannot be underestimated, and immediate action is needed to address these delays and support those affected.
