Financial Redress for Family Members of Postmasters
For Howe+Co to assist with your claim, please complete our questionnaire below. The Horizon Family Members Redress Scheme is now open for registration.
Registration
Registration Open for Horizon Family Member Redress Scheme
Horizon Family Members Redress Scheme opened for registrations on 16 July 2026.
We encourage anyone who believes they may be eligible to register for the Family Member Redress Scheme as soon as possible.
Registration requires only basic information about you and the postmaster to whom you are related. Registering onto the scheme does not guarantee eligibility or compensation, as eligibility will be assessed once the scheme begins processing claims.
Applicants who are under 18, or who lack the capacity to manage their own application, must apply through a personal representative who has the legal authority or responsibility to act on their behalf.
We would be grateful if you could inform us once you have submitted your registration so that we can keep our records up to date and continue to support you throughout the process.

Albert was great from start to finish. Very professional and made sure I understood every step of the process. Communication was excellent as Albert provided updates and regular follow up. This reassured me and made the process less stressful. Thank you Albert for your hardwork, professionalism and your support.
I am writing to formally express my sincere thanks for the assistance and support you [Albert] have provided in relation to the Horizon scandal redress concerning my late mother, Deborah Evans. I would like to acknowledge the time, care, and professionalism you have shown throughout this process, which has been greatly appreciated by myself and my family during what has been a long and difficult period.
As you will be fully aware, the impact of the Horizon scandal has extended far beyond those directly affected, with lasting consequences for their families. The efforts being made to address these injustices, particularly in cases involving deceased postmasters and their relatives, are extremely important, and I am grateful for your role in helping to progress my mother’s case through the redress process
I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the support you provided while I was going through the Post Office redress process.
At the outset, I believed I could handle everything myself. However, the emotions and difficult memories came flooding back in a way I hadn’t expected. It became far more overwhelming than I could have prepared for.
You were there every step of the way, steady, supportive, and reassuring. Even when the redress scheme wording was confusing and communications were handled so poorly, you made sure everything was dealt with swiftly, professionally, and with care.
Whenever a complication arose, you met it with reassurance, clarity, and calm something no amount of money could ever buy.
I genuinely don’t believe I could have managed this whole ordeal without you. Your support made an incredibly difficult chapter more bearable, and for that, I will always be grateful.
Thank you again, Albert not just for your expertise, but for your compassion, patience, and the reassurance you offered throughout.
With heartfelt appreciation, Thank you for everything you do.
My family has had the pleasure of being represented by Albert who has worked tirelessly on my sister’s immigration case which has been immeasurably successful. From the outset, Albert worked diligently, effectively and above all compassionately. No request was too much as he always went above and beyond. Albert has been an absolute God sent to my family and I have no hesitation in recommending him further.
Finally December and the compensation process is complete. This man tells me he will send me a letter to finalise my case. Whilst delighted I am also a little sad. Not only is this man my solicitor but I have also come to consider him a friend.
I have nothing but Praise for the way in which this man (Albert Harwood) has helped me through this very difficult time and for Howe and Co the firm of solicitors he is part of.
If I am asked by anyone for a firm of Solicitors, I will recommend Howe and Co.
Once again thank you for all you have done .You have been really professional but also have given your personal touch .Keeping me updated even while you have been away from office.
If anyone reads this please contact Albert because he goes beyond what you would expect.
If you are a sub postmaster or someone linked to the Horizon scandal do not delay contacting Albert because he will make the whole process a lot easier.
I honestly cannot thank him enough.
I would like to thank Howe+Co for dealing with my HRCS claim especially Albert Harwood.
He handled my settlement with sentiment, kindness and a professional approach which meant I had complete trust in him.
I had several options at the time to approach a solicitor ,I was so pleased I chose Howe+Co as they have the expertise to deal with these Post Office claims.
Thank you so much for your untiring sincere support over the past years me and my family are so grateful to know you and thank you for your hard work.

I cannot thank HOWE & CO Immigration Solicitors enough for their outstanding support, professionalism, and dedication throughout my asylum case. They were the only solicitors firm willing to represent me under Legal Aid. Other firms demanded very high private fees which I simply could not afford. At a time when I felt vulnerable and uncertain about my future, HOWE & CO stepped forward and gave me a real chance. Thanks to their expertise, careful preparation, and strong representation, I was granted refugee status in the UK directly after my interview within 3 months time without having to go through the stressful and lengthy appeal process. This meant more to me than words can express. The team was always attentive, respectful, and highly professional. They treated me with dignity, explained everything clearly, and supported me at every stage. I would also like to sincerely thank the interpreters, Kahraman, Sabri and Ozgur, who were extremely helpful, respectful, and always passed my messages promptly. Their professionalism and communication made a big difference. I highly recommend HOWE & CO to anyone seeking immigration advice. They truly care about their clients and work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. R. Dal HOWE & CO Immigration Solicitors’a, iltica sürecim boyunca gösterdikleri üstün destek, profesyonellik ve özveri için ne kadar teşekkür etsem azdır. Beni Legal Aid kapsamında temsil etmeyi kabul eden tek hukuk bürosu onlar oldu. Diğer firmalar karşılayamayacağım kadar yüksek özel ücretler talep ettiler. Kendimi çok zor ve belirsiz bir dönemde hissettiğim bir zamanda, HOWE & CO bana gerçek bir şans verdi. Uzmanlıkları, titiz hazırlıkları ve güçlü temsilleri sayesinde, stresli ve uzun bir temyiz sürecine gitmek zorunda kalmadan, mülakatımın hemen ardından Üç Ay içinde Birleşik Krallık’ta mülteci statüsü aldım. Bu benim için kelimelerle ifade edilemeyecek kadar büyük bir anlam taşıyor. Ekip her zaman ilgili, saygılı ve son derece profesyoneldi. Bana her aşamada saygıyla yaklaştılar, süreci açık bir şekilde anlattılar ve her adımda destek oldular. Ayrıca tercümanlar Kahraman Sabri ve Özgür’e de özellikle teşekkür etmek isterim. Son derece yardımcı, saygılıydılar ve mesajlarımı her zaman zamanında ilettiler. Profesyonellikleri ve iletişimleri benim için çok değerliydi. Göçmenlik hukuku alanında destek arayan herkese HOWE & CO’yu gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye ederim. Müvekkillerine gerçekten önem veriyor ve en iyi sonucu almak için büyük bir özveriyle çalışıyorlar.
