People like Andy Malkinson, who cleared his name after 17 years in jail, will no longer pay 'bed and board'.
But the government has not committed to reimbursing wrongly convicted people who have had the deduction applied to their compensation since the rule was introduced.
He continued: "I'm struggling. I'm living on benefits. I'm jobless, I'm homeless pretty much... I'm pretty much bereft of everything." She added: "The state robbed [Mr Malkinson] of the best years of his life. Changing this one rule is not an adequate response. The chair of the Commons Justice Committee, Conservative MP Sir Bob Neill, told the BBC: "I'm very glad that the government have listened to what I think was the overwhelming reaction from the public and politicians about this."
