Our approach to supporting your CICA application

Our aim is to provide clear guidance and consistent support to people considering an application to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.

At each stage of the process, you can discuss your options with us and make decisions at your own pace.

Initial consultation

We begin with a confidential conversation to understand your circumstances and to explain how the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme works. This gives you an opportunity to ask questions and consider whether you would like to proceed.

Obtaining consent

Claim form completion and submission

We guide you through completing the application form accurately, using the information and evidence already gathered. We explain each section, help ensure your answers are clear and consistent, and support you to submit your claim correctly and on time.

Dispute resolution and appeals (if required)

If you decide to challenge a decision, we can review the outcome with you and advise on whether an appeal or further evidence may be appropriate. We guide you through the steps involved in the appeal process and help you prepare any additional information you choose to provide. Additional charges may apply to this service.

Once the Authority has reached a decision, we explain the outcome clearly and remain available to answer any further questions you may have.
