An eighth addendum to the Presidential Guidance (which was originally published on 5 September 2017) was published on 27 March 2025. The addendum updates, but does not otherwise replace, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh addenda, which remain relevant to claims presented before 6 April 2025. The Eighth Addendum takes into account changes in the RPI All Items Index released on 26 March 2025.

The updated Vento bands, which apply to any claims presented on or after 6 April 2025, shall be as follows:

• a lower band of £1,200 to £12,100 (less serious cases);
• a middle band of £12,100 to £36,400 (cases that do not merit an award in the upper band); and
• an upper band of £36,400 to £60,700 (the most serious cases), with the most exceptional cases capable of exceeding £60,700.

In respect of claims presented in Scotland, the bands remain subject to paragraph 12 of the Presidential Guidance issued on 5 September 2017.
