Post Office informing postmasters of scheme closing date and new fixed sum award option

Recommendation
The Post Office is in the process of writing to current and former postmasters who have not yet applied to the scheme to invite them to apply if they wish to but have not yet done so, as there will be a closing date for the scheme in the future. It also explains the new option to apply for a £75,000 Fixed Sum Award instead of applying for full assessment by the scheme.
