£104.17 was the lowest paid out. :(
Compensation payments for civilians killed varied widely. In February 2008 a family received just £104.17 for a confirmed fatality and property damage.
There is no more detail given, but it is the lowest recorded sum for a civilian death.
In contrast, British forces paid out £110 for a lost mobile phone in Camp Bastion, £662 for the death of six donkeys after they "wandered on to a rifle range ", and £240 for damage caused to a property by an armoured vehicle.
Not exactly what one would call compensation for the loss of a loved one...
