To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 7 November 2022 to Question 72915 on Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme: Coronavirus, how many of the 217 rejected claims were rejected for (a) lack of causation and (b) falling below the 60 per cent disablement threshold; and what were the five most commonly cited (i) disabilities and (ii) other health impacts in claims that were rejected.

Of the 217 rejected COVID-19 claims, 199 were rejected due to lack of causation and 17 were rejected due to not meeting the 60% disability threshold. One claim is invalid as not meeting the eligibility to apply under the Scheme.

Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme assessors do not accept or reject specific conditions or injuries. Claims are individually assessed on a case-by-case basis by an experienced independent medical assessor. We are unable to provide the information requested on the health conditions of individuals whose claims have been rejected as it relates to personal information, from which unsuccessful claimants could potentially be identified.
