Bereaved Partner Payments - backdated payments end on 31 March 2022
Further to the Government announcement on 3 December, bereaved partners of those affected by infected NHS blood or blood products (subject to acceptance criteria) must apply for a bereaved partner payment by the 31 March 2022, in order to receive a backdated payment. From 1 April 2022, bereaved partners can register with EIBSS, however they will not receive a backdated payment.
For more information and to apply, visit the Families and Estates of deceased beneficiaries webpage.
We support people historically infected with hepatitis C and/or HIV from NHS blood or blood products. We also help families, civil or long-term partners after the death of someone infected.
