Windrush FAQs
What is the Windrush Compensation Scheme?
The Windrush Compensation Scheme was set up by the UK government to compensate Commonwealth people who suffered losses or hardship because they were wrongly classified as being in the UK illegally. This includes people who were denied work, housing, healthcare, benefits, or were detained or removed.
Who can apply for compensation?
You may be eligible if:
– You came to the UK before 1973 from a Commonwealth country.
– You are a child of someone who came to the UK before 1973.
– You arrived in the UK before 1988 and are settled here.
– You were affected by immigration status issues linked to the Windrush scandal.
Family members may also be able to apply in some circumstances.
If you’re unsure, we can help you check your eligibility.
How can Make More help me?
At Make More, we provide:
– Free guidance and advice on eligibility.
– Help completing application forms.
– Support gathering evidence.
– Help understanding Home Office correspondence.
– Assistance with reviews or appeals if needed.

Does it cost anything to use your service?
