Windrush compensation scheme

The request was partially successful.

Dear Home Office,

With regards to the Windrush compensation scheme, and specifically the figures provided here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...

How many of the successful claimants were represented by a legally qualified professional? How many of the unsuccessful claimants were represented?
How much has the scheme cost to administer the scheme in its first year?
How many staff members are assigned to assessing claims and processing payments? How has that number changed over the course of the scheme and up to the present day?

Yours faithfully,

John Hyde
