Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme: Medical Assessments
Notice Description
You are being invited to participate in this Request for Information in relation to the provision of medical assessments in relation to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS).<br/><br/>The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) provides a one-off tax-free payment to successful applicants where, on very rare occasions and on the balance of probabilities, a vaccine has been assessed to have caused severe disablement, within the meaning of the Vaccine Damage Payments Act 1979. Any potential contract is for a third party to assess claims using independent GMC registered doctor with a license to practise and at least five years' experience.<br/><br/>The VDPS is not a compensation scheme. It is a no-fault scheme. A successful claim does not apportion blame to you as a healthcare provider or anyone else.<br/><br/>The NHSBSA administers the VDPS on behalf of the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC). DHSC remains responsible for the policy and legislation that governs the scheme.<br/>For more information: https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/vaccine-damage-payment-scheme-vdps
