Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme
(before 1 May 2002)

The Compensation Agency operates the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme.

Under this scheme you may be entitled to claim:

	Compensation for a personal injury whether mental or physical
	Compensation if your parent, child, husband, wife, or partner has died as a result of a criminal injury
	Compensation for loss of earnings or earning capacity as a result of a criminal injury

We recently introduced a new Tariff Scheme for the payment of compensation in cases of criminal injury, where the injury was sustained on or after 1 May 2002 in Northern Ireland.

	To claim compensation for injuries sustained on or after 1 May 2002, see Criminal Injuries (from 1 May 2002).
	To claim compensation for injuries sustained before 1 May 2002, read our guide for comprehensive information on the old scheme.
