Published: 9/28/2025

Janet Skinner, a victim of the Post Office Horizon IT scandal, has been offered only 15% of her compensation claim after being wrongly convicted due to faulty software. Skinner, who experienced extreme stress and paralysis from the ordeal, has faced significant challenges, including loss of livelihood and health issues. Despite her convictions being quashed and expert reports linking her health problems to the stress she endured, her claim remains under dispute. The government asserts efforts to provide fair offers, but Skinner's case highlights ongoing challenges faced by victims seeking compensation in the aftermath of the scandal.
