Have you spoken with the Headway team ? They might have the information you need, or could maybe lead you to an agency who have.

I've pasted some information below in case you haven't already visited GOV.UK ;-

Vaccine Damage Payment

Skip to contents of guide

Contents

Overview

What you'll get

Eligibility

How to claim

If you disagree with a decision

How to claim

Apply by filling out a claim form.

You do not need a legal representative, such as a solicitor, to apply for a Vaccine Damage Payment.

You can apply on someone else’s behalf if:

they’re under 16 and you’re their parent or guardian

they’re not able to manage their own affairs and you act as their representative

they’ve died and you manage their estate

Send the completed claim form to:

Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme

Unit 5 Greenfinch Way

Newburn Business Park

Newcastle-upon-Tyne

NE15 8NX

You can also contact the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme to ask for a claim form:

Telephone: 0300 330 0013

British Sign Language (BSL) video relay service if you’re on a computer - find out how to use the service on mobile or tablet

Find out about call charges

Time limits on making a claim

You can only claim for a child once they are 2 years old.

To claim for an adult, apply by whichever is the latest of the following dates:

on or before their 21st birthday (or if they’ve died, the date they would have reached 21)

within 6 years of the vaccination

How long it takes

It can take at least 6 months to process a Vaccine Damage Payment claim. If you’re making a claim about a coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination it will take longer.

Other help you can get

You might be able to:

get financial help if you’re disabled

apply for equipment for your home if you’re disabled

get a Bereavement Support Payment, if you’re claiming a Vaccine Damage Payment for someone who has died
