July 7 victims ‘forgotten by unwieldy system’

MORE than 120 victims injured in the July 7 bombings are still waiting for full compensation two years on from the attacks, it emerged last night.

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) has not yet resolved a fifth of claims made in relation to the attacks in London in 2005 which killed 52 and injured thousands.

A spokesman conceded 126 of 614 cases are still outstanding, amid claims survivors had been forgotten and were struggling to deal with an unwieldy compensation system.
