The government has agreed that all wrongly convicted sub-postmasters are entitled to compensation of £600,000, but they can only be paid once their convictions have been quashed.
To date, just 93 convictions have been overturned.
Some 550 sub-postmasters successfully sued the Post Office, winning £58 million collectively, but court costs had to be paid from that sum before it was shared amongst them, meaning they received significantly less than £600,000.
