Covid Vaccine Damage Consultants Paid Millions More Than Victims

by Will Jones
19 March 2025 5:30 PM

Consultants assessing Covid vaccine damage claims on behalf of the NHS have been paid millions more than the victims, it has emerged. The Telegraph has more.

Freedom of Information requests made by the Telegraph show that US-based Crawford and Company has carried out nearly 13,000 medical assessments, but dismissed more than 98% of cases.

Just 203 claimants have been notified they are entitled to a one-off payment of £120,000 through the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) amounting to £24,360,000. Yet Crawford and Company has received £27,264,896 for its services.

The VDPS is run by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) but it has been criticised for a lack of transparency regarding how claims are assessed.

Prof Richard Goldberg, Chairman in Law at Durham University, with a special interest in vaccine liability and compensation, said: “The idea that this would be farmed out to a private company to make a determination is very odd. It’s taxpayers money and money is tight at the moment.

“The lack of transparency is not helpful and there is a terrible sense of secrecy about all of this. One gets the sense that their main objective is for these cases not to succeed.

“There are no stats available so we don’t know the details about how these claims are being decided or whether previous judgements are being taken into account. They just trot out the same old line that they will examine the medical and epidemiological research and current medical consensus.”

He added: “What we want is people who are entitled to compensation to get it, and I’m not saying everyone deserves compensation. But the vast majority of cases are knocked out on causation grounds and I believe that there is a need for rigorous criteria to determine causation, as well as a system that is fair and accessible.”

Crawford and Company, which is based in Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the world’s largest claims management and loss adjustment companies with offices in 70 countries.

However, it has faced public criticism. Reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Glassdoor accuse the company of unfair claim denials, dismissal of medical evidence and a lack of transparency. The company has a 1.4 star ranking on Trustpilot.

The Hart (Health Advisory and Recovery Team) group, which was set up by medical professionals and scientists during the pandemic, has warned that Crawford and Company has a “troubling reputation with numerous reports of mismanagement and claims denials across various sectors”.

Since the VDPS was founded in 1979 it has had about 16,000 applications, but the Covid jab has made up the vast majority of claims.

Payments have been awarded for conditions related to the Covid jab including stroke, heart attack, dangerous blood clots, inflammation of the spinal cord, excessive swelling of the vaccinated limb and facial paralysis.
