There is also a supplementary financial loss award for affected people. This will provide compensation where an affected person was financially dependent on an infected person at the time of their death and this dependency has not already been recognised through the core route. The supplementary route has a higher evidential requirement, as people who are claiming will need to demonstrate their circumstances to necessitate a higher compensation payment. The regulations also allow for people to return to the scheme should their condition worsen as a result of their infection, and to claim multiple awards in the devastating circumstances that they are both infected and affected, or affected multiple times over.
