The regulations also establish the supplementary route for exceptional cases, where compensation under the core route was not considered sufficient. Under the supplementary route, there will be three supplementary awards for people who are infected and one additional supplementary award for people who are affected, should they be eligible. The supplementary awards for infected people include: an additional autonomy award, for cases in which someone was subject to unethical research; a severe health condition award for financial loss and care, for cases in which someone suffered from a specific rare health condition which is likely to result in greater care needs or impact an infected person’s ability to work; and an exceptional loss award for financial loss and care, for cases in which someone can evidence additional financial loss, most likely as a result of being a higher earner or having higher care costs due to their infection.
