compensation

Victim Support provides a Criminal Injuries Compensation Service to assist victims of violent crime in Northern Ireland to apply for compensation under the tariff-based scheme.   

The tariff-based scheme is based on Sir Kenneth Bloomfield's recommendations from his review of criminal injuries compensation in Northern Ireland (1999). Since the review Victim Support has received funding and implemented its Criminal Injuries Compensation Service to provide assistance with initial applications, reviews and appeals via a free and confidential service delivered by trained staff and volunteers.

No charge is made for this service and any award you receive will be paid to you in full without deductions.
