The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme is a government funded scheme to compensate blameless victims of violent crime. Money (an award) is paid to people who have been physically or mentally injured because they were the blameless victim of a violent crime. This current Scheme introduced on 27 November 2012 applies to any application made on or after that date (for any applications made before then different rules may apply). The Scheme is for people injured in England, Scotland and Wales (Great Britain) and the rules of the Scheme and the value of the payments awarded are set by Parliament. Payments are calculated by reference to a tariff of injuries. Claims are considered for the following: personal injury following a single incident; personal injury following a period of abuse; loss of earnings; special expenses payments - to cover specific injury-related requirements which are not available free of charge from any other source; fatal injuries, including loss of parental services and financial dependency; and funeral payments.
