Andrew Malkinson, who spent 17 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, has been campaigning to get the compensation scheme overhauled.
He served 17 years in prison for a rape he always denied.
He has described the government’s cap on pay-outs for victims of miscarriages of justice as “insulting” – after facing a series of complications and delays in receiving any support.
He vowed to “keep fighting to abolish this cruel and arbitrary cap, along with the brutal rules currently denying compensation to the vast majority of wrongfully convicted people”.
Mr Malkinson received an initial payment from the government in February.
The amount of compensation was not revealed, but The Guardian reported he was set to receive a “significant” six-figure sum.
