Rosemary Ingram said she was made to “feel like a victim all over again” by the experience in 2002, four years after a Real IRA bomb devastated the centre of the town.
“I was told to strip to my underwear and to stand in the corner of the room, facing the wall, in front of the panel of lawyers so that the Northern Ireland Office’s compensation agency could examine my scars to assess how much money I should be given.
Ms Ingram said she had campaigned for other victims who claimed compensation to be assessed through medical reports and photographs of injuries.
Ms Ingram then said she had suffered “humiliating” treatment after claiming compensation from the government for her injuries in 2002.
A traffic warden who was seriously injured in the Omagh bombing has told how she was “humiliated” by having to take off her clothes so her scars could be examined in a compensation claim.
