Betty Brown , 92 , was forced out of her post office in 2003 after spending 50,000 of her savings to cover shortfalls that did not exist.

Post Office minister Gareth Thomas said it was always the government's priority to pay as much redress as it could.

More than 892 m has been paid to over 6,200 claimants across four different compensation schemes.
