The new Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme, initiated by the Labour government, is notable for providing swift financial relief to victims without the Post Office's involvement.
Legislation passed in May allowed for the overturning of hundreds of flawed convictions tied to the Post Office's Horizon IT system, enabling victims to seek compensation.
Victims of the Post Office scandal have faced lengthy waits for compensation, with an estimated 900 eligible for payouts under the new scheme.
The new scheme guarantees an initial £200,000 payment to all qualifying applicants, with the potential for larger settlements based on individual assessments.
