If you were vaccinated in the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, or Wales), the Isle of Man (IoM), or Jersey and you have become severely disabled as a result of receiving certain vaccines, you may be entitled to a Vaccine Damage Payment.
A Vaccine Damage Payment is a one-off payment of £120,000. It is:
- tax free
- not treated as compensation, meaning you could still seek damages in court

If you’re over 16, you can make a claim yourself.
You can apply on someone else’s behalf if:
- they’re under 16 and you’re their parent or guardian
- they’re not able to manage their own affairs and you act as their legal representative
- they’ve died and you manage their estate
A Vaccine Damage Payment can affect your benefits and entitlements if you live in the Isle of Man or Northern Ireland. For more details read the ‘If you receive benefits’ section on the Claim for a Vaccine Damage Payment page.
