The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) operates two compensation schemes for former coal miners and their families for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Vibration White Finger (VWF). To administer these schemes BERR and its contractors work closely with solicitors representing the miners.
These are the biggest personal injury schemes in British legal history and possibly the world, settling around 10,000 claims a month at their peak for ex-miners in the UK. Over 760,000 claims are registered and £3.9 billion in compensation has been paid to date.
