or

• The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2005

If you believe that you may be entitled to claim compensation under one of these schemes, you should refer to the relevant information and application forms available in downloadable documents.

Incidents which occurred prior to 13 December 2005 are eligible for consideration under the 1983 Scheme. Incidents which occurred on or after 13 December 2005, will be eligible for consideration under the 2005 Scheme.
