Ministers announce new scheme to compensate workers caught up in Post Office Horizon scandal
A NEW scheme to compensate workers caught up in the Post Office Horizon scandal is now open, ministers announced today.
Postmasters who took the first High Court legal action against the state-run firm agreed a settlement worth £43 million plus legal costs in 2019.
The case marked a turning point in the scandal, which began after the company began installing Horizon accounting software in the late 1990s.
