Windrush Scandal Victim says the Compensation Scheme is not effective
Leeford Hammond, 65, a father of five, was stranded in Jamaica for six months and was forced to close his estate agent business of 12 years after he couldn’t return to London.
A Windrush scandal victim is calling for the Windrush Compensation Scheme to be reviewed after he waited almost
two years for an offer.
Leeford Hammond, 65, from north London applied to the scheme in April 2019, after he was denied entry back into the UK after a holiday in 2017.
The father of five, was stranded in Jamaica for six months and was was forced to close his estate agent business of 12 years after he couldn’t return to London. Mr Hammond has slammed the £40, 000 he was offered in February 2021 and says it doesn’t take into consideration the full extent of his circumstances.
