Exceptional Case Funding in association with claims brought under the Vaccine Damage Payment Act 1979

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Legal Aid Agency should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Legal Aid Agency,

Under the FOIA plese supply the following information

The number of times Exceptional Case Funding (ECF) has been awarded to assist with bringing a claim under the Vaccine Damage Payment Act 1979 (VDPA) since 2005. Please provide a breakdown as follows (a) to assist with the presentation of a claim before a First Tier Tribunal (b) to assist with the presentation of a claim before the Upper Tier Tribunal and (c) any other reasons for which an award was made under ECF to a claimant in association with a claim brought under the VDPA 1979.

Thank you

Yours faithfully,

Wendy Stephen
