With effect from 1 April 2025, EIBSS is now closed to new applications for anyone who has historically been infected with hepatitis C, HIV or both, from NHS blood or blood products.
EIBSS supports people historically infected with hepatitis C, HIV or both, from blood or blood products. We also help families, civil or long-term partners after the death of someone infected.
Support is available for:
- people historically infected with hepatitis C, HIV or both, from NHS blood or blood products
- families, civil or long-term partners after the death of someone infected
You can still apply to the scheme if you are the spouse, civil partner, or long-term partner of a deceased registered beneficiary.
For more information and how to apply, read Families and estates of deceased beneficiaries.
