The available information, supplied by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), is summarised in the table. It relates only to applications lodged under the tariff based scheme effective for applications lodged on or after 1 April 1996. It does not include old scheme cases lodged before that date.The figures for the number of Review requests and appeals made include cases where a money award was offered at an earlier stage, but the level of award was not accepted. It is not possible readily to isolate for these purposes cases where the earlier decision was 'nil' award or a money award, nor, where the earlier decision was a money award if the reviewed or appealed decision resulted in a higher award, a lower award or the same award.The figures for the number of tariff awards made in various bandings relate only to the tariff element of the award. In up to 10 per cent. of cases additional compensation can be payable for loss of earnings and/or care costs and/or dependency costs. In the time available to answer the question it was not possible for CICA to design, validate and run the extensive query/report that would have been required to capture that data as well.
