Post Office compensation offer after death is 'slap in the face', says widow

Quick Summary:

She describes the offer as a "slap in the face" and says it has prompted her to share their story publicly for the first time.

Days after losing Terry, his widow Janet received a letter making an offer of compensation – far below the amount the couple had claimed.

According to the most recent figures, in the scheme created to provide redress for those in the original Group Litigation Order (GLO), 227 of 492 eligible claimants are still waiting for full and final compensation.
