Betty Brown, 92, is the oldest surviving victim of the Post Office Horizon scandal and has criticized her increased compensation offer as 'not good enough,' stating it is still insufficient.

In 2003, Betty was forced out of her post office branch in County Durham after losing over £50,000 due to faulty software that falsely indicated financial shortfalls.

She was part of the original group of 555 victims in a landmark legal action against the Post Office, led by Alan Bates, and is pursuing compensation through the GLO scheme established three years ago.

After 26 years of waiting for proper redress, Betty feels that victims are being 'fobbed off' despite substantial evidence supporting their claims.

Betty expressed that the situation has 'absolutely destroyed' her life and emphasized the need for true justice, which she feels is still being denied.

The faulty Horizon IT system led to over 900 sub-postmasters, including Betty, being wrongfully accused of theft, resulting in prosecutions and jail sentences for some, marking it as one of the UK's largest miscarriages of justice.

This scandal has inspired the ITV drama 'Mr Bates vs The Post Office,' highlighting the widespread injustices faced by the victims.

More than £892 million has been paid to over 6,200 claimants through various compensation schemes, but MPs have criticized the pace of these payments and called for reform.

Despite the increase to her compensation offer, which is now 60% of her claim, it remains significantly lower than what experts suggested she should receive, raising concerns for other victims in similar situations.

Betty's case has gained media attention, prompting Post Office Minister Gareth Thomas to pledge an investigation into her situation and to meet with victims.

Acknowledging the frustrations surrounding compensation disputes, Minister Thomas promised to resolve challenges quickly and fairly.
