Post Office compensation schemes 'cruel and never-ending'

Former sub-postmasters affected by the Post Office Horizon IT scandal have criticized the compensation process as "cruel" and "never-ending," designed to make them want to give up. The victims, wrongly accused and prosecuted due to faults in the accounting system, are still waiting for final settlements years later. An official inquiry report highlighted the disastrous impact on the victims and recommended establishing a mechanism for redress, extending free legal advice for claimants, and compensating close family members affected by the scandal.
