Following the Infected Blood Interim Estates Payment Scheme (IBIEPS) opening for £210,000 payment applications on 23 October 2025, we are experiencing a high volume of applications. As a result, it may take longer than usual to acknowledge or process your application.
Be assured that we are working hard to review all applications as quickly as possible. There is no need to contact us for updates, we will reach out to you as soon as there is progress on your application.
The £210,000 payment is in addition to the estates interim payment of £100,000. Check eligibility and how to apply at: Government Update on Further Interim Compensation Payments for Estates.
Widows or estates that have not previously received an interim payment from IBIEPS can find information on how to apply for probate at: Apply for an infected blood interim compensation payment as an estate: Applying for probate or confirmation.
Note that widows or estates that received the initial £100,000 from EIBSS are not eligible to complete the expedited application form.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this busy period.
