Post Office Scandal Drama Wins Awards Amid Ongoing Compensation Struggles

Jo Hamilton and other victims call for renewed government action as 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office' garners accolades at the National Television Awards.

Jo Hamilton criticized the government for slow compensation progress during her speech at the National Television Awards.
More than 300 out of 555 sub-postmasters have yet to receive full compensation despite a landmark 2019 court case.
The ITV drama 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office' won multiple awards, including Best New Drama and Best Drama Performance for Toby Jones.
The government claims to have paid over £289 million across four compensation schemes but many victims remain unsatisfied.
A new compensation scheme aims to make offers to 90% of claimants within 40 days, but skepticism remains high among victims.
