A deadline for savers who lost money in the Equitable Life scandal to claim compensation has been extended to the middle of 2015.
The planned cut-off of March 2014 was criticised as "arbitrary" in a report by a committee of MPs in October.
The insurance company came close to collapse in 2000, in one of the UK's biggest financial scandals.
The Treasury said that up to 400,000 savers who lost money had still not received compensation payments.
A national advertising campaign to encourage eligible policyholders to come forward will be launched in the next few weeks.
