Another prominent victim of the Windrush scandal has died without receiving compensation or a personal apology from the government, as campaigners warn those affected need more help to claim damages. He described his father as “a pioneer of cricket for the Windrush generation, and a gentleman”. Stewart had discussed the compensation forms with his son this month, but had not yet gathered all the paperwork to make an application. His death follows that of Sarah O’Connor in September, also before receiving an apology or compensation. Wilson is also in the final stages of applying for compensation – a process that has taken several months and involved several meetings with caseworkers at the RMC.
