Horizon IT System: Compensation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many sub postmasters have had claims (a) settled and (b) not settled related to the Horizon issue.
Answered by Blair McDougall
As of 31 October 2025, around 9,300 claims have been settled across the Horizon redress schemes, with around 3,000 claims received not yet settled.
The total number of settled claims includes 71 full and final settlements made under the former Overturned Convictions scheme prior to its closure on 2 June 2025. The 40 Overturned Convictions claims not fully settled are now being administered through the Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme (HCRS).
The table below illustrates the progress to date across the schemes and is available on GOV.UK. The Department only reports on claims received, as there is not a fixed cohort of claims across these schemes.
Scheme | Full & Final Claims received | Full & Final Offers made | Full & Final Offers accepted | Full & Final claims paid |
Horizon Shortfall Scheme: eligible claims before deadline | 2,417 | 2,417 | 2,129 | 2,129 |
Horizon Shortfall Scheme: eligible late claims | 8,823 | 6,919 | 6,236 | 6,192 |
Group Litigation Order Scheme | 476 | 473 | 400 | 396 |
Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme | 462 | 460 | 447 | 445 |
