54 Past affected financial loss award
(1) The affected core award in relation to an eligible affected person (“Q”) must include an amount by way of a past affected financial loss award (a “PAFL award”) for the purpose of compensating Q for financial loss incurred as a result of the death of an eligible infected person (“P”) who is a relevant SSP partner of Q. (2) For the purposes of this regulation, P is a relevant SSP partner of Q if— (a) Q is an eligible affected person by virtue of being a partner of P, (b) P died on or before 31st December 2024, and (c) Q is an affected SSP recipient as a bereaved partner of P. (3) Subject to paragraphs (6) to (8), where P died before 1st January 2024, the amount of the PAFL award is the sum of— (a) an annual amount of £16,682 for the period which— (i) begins with the first year of Q’s compensation period, and (ii) ends with 2024, and (b) the final year amount. (4) Subject to paragraphs (7) and (8), where P died on or after 1st January 2024, the amount of the PAFL award is the final year amount. (5) The final year amount is— (a) £4,171, or (b) if P would have been 66 or older in the year beginning 1st January 2024, 50% of that amount. (6) Where an annual amount is determined pursuant to paragraph (3)(a), the annual amount for any year in which P would have been 66 or older is 50% of the annual amount that would (but for this paragraph) otherwise be determined. (7) Where— (a) Q has two or more relevant SSP partners who died before 1st January 2024, and (b) there are any overlapping years in their award periods, the annual amounts of the PAFL awards included in the relevant affected core payments for those overlapping years must not in total exceed the maximum annual amount. (8) Where Q has two or more relevant SSP partners, the final year amounts of the PAFL awards included in the relevant affected core payments must not in total exceed the maximum final year amount.
