Top Tips - Payment of Award The Victims Services website has moved.
Please select this link to access the new site, or wait to be re-directed in 5 seconds. Yes, Victims Services will send you the award cheque if you looked after your own claim and had no legal representation. However, if a solicitor looked after your claim, Victims Services will send the award cheque to them unless your solicitor has written to Victims Services authorising you to collect your award cheque or for your award cheque to be mailed directly to you. Victims Services cannot send you the award cheque if the compensation assessor directs the award to be paid to the Public Trustee or to the Office of the Protective Commissioner. May I have my award paid directly into my bank account? No. Victims Services cannot arrange for your award to be paid directly into your bank account. My claim has been determined. How long will it be before I receive the compensation? Victims Services' policy is that the award should be paid within 28 working days of receiving your correctly completed Application for Payment. Remember that if you have a solicitor, the cheque will go to the solicitor's office and it may take a further period of time for you to receive the compensation. |
