Oldest victim of Post Office scandal, 92, receives final payout

92-year-old Betty Brown, the oldest Post Office Horizon IT scandal victim, has received her final payout from a government compensation scheme after enduring financial losses and trauma for 26 years. Betty and her late husband spent over £50,000 to cover nonexistent shortfalls, leading to the closure of their successful Post Office in County Durham in 2003. Her settlement marks a step towards justice for the 900 sub-postmasters wrongfully prosecuted and highlights the compensation agreement reached by campaigner Sir Alan Bates with the Post Office, signaling progress in addressing this widespread miscarriage of justice in the UK.
