VDPS Success Guide Course Curriculum
1. Do you intend to claim £120,000 VDPS?
You need to be able to answer YES to both of these questions honestly, otherwise as the process stands, you are wasting your time and money.
(1) Do you believe you were injured by a Covid-19 vaccine? (2) Has that injury left you at least 60% disabled? (3) Do you want to give away ~25% (£30,000) of your compensation to a law firm? If the answers are Yes–Yes–No, then this guide is for you.
2. Disclaimer
Important legal disclaimer. States that the author is not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, and has no medical or law qualifications. Explains the author’s background as an 18-year Private Investigator (ex-military and ex-police) and that the guide is based on personal experience and publicly available information.
3. Why I created this guidance
The author’s personal story. Details how he and his wife took the AstraZeneca vaccine in May 2021 for travel, and within 72 hours he developed severe chronic daily headaches that have never gone away. Describes his 5-year battle with the NHSBSA for the VDPS, multiple rejections, and final success. Explains why he created the guide — to help others avoid the same long struggle and save £30,000 in legal fees.
4. The NHSBSA VDPS word for word
The official rules explained clearly. Covers the three key requirements: eligible vaccine, causation on the balance of probabilities, and at least 60% disablement. Includes key facts about the scheme (one-off £120,000 tax-free payment, 6-year limit, etc.), special notes on chronic headaches, current statistics (≈1% success rate, ~250–260 awards out of 22,000+ claims), and future possible reforms.
5. This is what happens in reality
Honest overview of the actual claims process. Explains that most first applications are rejected, the typical journey (Initial claim → Mandatory Reversal → Tribunal), how NHSBSA and Maximus assess claims, and the need for persistence. Describes what buyers get in the course (checklists, templates, evidence system, updates) and ends with motivation to do it yourself and keep the full £120,000.
6. How to prepare before submission
Practical pre-submission advice. Recommends using a laptop/desktop, not a phone. Step-by-step preparation: submitting Subject Access Requests (SARs) to GP and hospitals, analysing records for causation, registering as disabled via Citizens Advice, obtaining supporting medical letters, and building an organised evidence file like a professional investigator.
7. Stages to follow
The complete step-by-step process (12 steps). Starts with confirming eligibility, reading official rules, gathering evidence, submitting the claim, handling rejection, Mandatory Reversal, preparing for tribunal, and staying persistent. Includes detailed guidance on each stage and a strong emphasis on preparation and organisation.
8. Useful links
Handy resource list. Contains official NHSBSA claim links, statistics page, Citizens Advice, PIP information, SAR guidance, tribunal service details, support groups, and other helpful tools (Google Drive, research AI, etc.). Ends with a reminder to always check the latest official information.
