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 ;-

Overview

Eligibility
How to claim

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:

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
