# The Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2025, Regulation 63: The IBSS amount: IBSS-registered affected persons

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(1) Subject to paragraphs (2A) and (3), the IBSS amount for an IBSS-registered affected person (“A”) is an annual amount for the Part 5 period (other than the IBSS transfer year) of 75% of the relevant IBSS category amount (but see regulation 60(7) which makes provision for uprating).
(2) “The relevant IBSS category amount”, in relation to A, is the amount specified in column 3 of the table in regulation 62 corresponding to the payment category described in column 1 of that table which applied to A’s deceased partner (“I”) on 31st March 2025, or, if I was not an IBSS-registered infected person on 31st March 2025, would have applied to I on that date by virtue of I being an IBSS-registered infected person.
(2A) Subject to paragraph (3), where, at the beginning of a year during the Part 5 period other than the IBSS transfer year, A is in a recent bereavement period, the IBSS amount is the sum of—
(a) (B ÷ 12) × M, where—
(i) “B” is A’s relevant IBSS category amount;
(ii) “M” is the number of months during the year during which E is in a recent bereavement period, and
(b) ((B ÷ 12) × 0.75) × N, where—
(i) “B” is A’s relevant IBSS category amount;
(ii) “N” is the number of months during the year during which E is not in a recent bereavement period.
(3) Where A—
(a) is registered under the England Infected Blood Support Scheme, and
(b) immediately before the IBSS transfer date, an annual amount of £18,000 was being paid in relation to A by virtue of the fact that the IBSS payment category that applied, or would have applied, to I on 31st March 2025 was “Hepatitis C stage 1”,
the annual amount determined in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2A) may not be less than £18,000 for any year of the Part 5 period.
