Before I move on, I want to acknowledge that these regulations amend a small mathematical error that was present in the 2024 regulations. This was a genuine technical error, but I want to be clear that we know that those already engaging with IBCA may be disheartened by this mistake. I want to take this opportunity to apologise to them directly. Anyone affected by this issue will receive all the compensation that they are due, and resolving this should not cause any delays to the rollout of compensation. The error itself is a result of the mathematical formula used to calculate someone’s financial loss and care award in the 2024 regulations. This means that some people who have been made an offer so far will have been offered slightly less than was intended. This will impact only a relatively small number of people who have received their offer of compensation from IBCA.
