In assessing whether an individual applicant meets the necessary level of disablement giving rise to an entitlement to compensation in the Vaccine Damage Payments Scheme, is the period of disablement to be taken into account limited to the applicant’s circumstances as they are at the date of the assessment? Or may the assessment take into account the future prognosis for the applicant?
