Global human rights group Human Rights Watch said the burden of proof placed on victims was 'unreasonable'.
Thomas Tobierre, 69, told the BBC he came to the UK as a young child from St Lucia in 1965, when the Caribbean nation was still a British colony.
He said the Home Office also asked him for evidence that he had depleted his pension fund only to tell him later that the loss of occupational pensions was not covered by the scheme. He said that while the amount was less than he lost from his pension and debts, he had accepted the settlement because he needed to pay for house adaptations for his wife, Caroline, who had stage four cancer.
She applied for compensation when the scheme launched in 2019, said MB, and was asked for documents that had either been lost or never existed.
