How this is calculated

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2012 requires applications to be made within 2 years of the incident. CICA may extend the deadline in exceptional circumstances — particularly:

  • Childhood abuse where the applicant was under 18 at the time;
  • Late disclosure due to mental capacity, abuse dynamics, or post-traumatic stress;
  • Where the applicant could not reasonably have applied earlier.

Apply as early as possible. Late applications must explain the delay clearly with supporting evidence.
