Waiting for court-awarded compensation to be paid?
 

Not sure if anyone's ever posted this, but I have seen some griping about people getting paid compensation at £1 a week out of someone's benefits etc.
You might find the info below useful -essneiutally, you get paid what you're owed and then the authority has to chase them down for the money rather than you. (BTW, this is a direct quote and was obviously written by someone who's illiterate, not me)

"You may be able to apply for your compensation to be paid by a company called CICA (Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority), if this is paid to you by them Mr xxxxx will then pay CICA the money owed.

CICA web address: www.cica.gov.uk"

(also btw, CICA aren't a 'company', they're a Government Agency.)

We get awarded the odd £50 here and there for getting smacked by a ****ed up driver or similar. I have only ever been paid once in over 13 years.

I may look into this as I don't want the scumbags money, I just don't want them to have it.

Name a charity.

I have never bothered claiming, was called a fool for it after I was on light duties for 3 months as a result of being injured whilst attempting to restrain someone. Still time for me to claim but I probably won't bother.

Believe the rules have changed and it is a minimum £1000 payout these days so needs to be a decent injury I believe.

MBK, down here, that minimum is for CICA claims, the courts often make small awards to be paid by the scumbag.

Ah, the courts never award us anything as we should expect it apparently! lol!

I was awarded £600, and expected to be drip fed. Paid as £100/month. Although I knew the scroat was able to pay £6000 in cash without a problem. sometimes the courts believe the bull poo. "I am unemployed" etc. What they really mean is I am not in lawful employment.

In my case how the feck do you have a 400 grand house and be unemployed.

Still vengeance will be mine. my enemy's enemy is my friend and my enemy left Glasgow in a hurry, I wonder why? A word in somebody's ear could be quite painful.

my wife had a claim once for being kicked in the stomach while arresting someone. Think she got a grand total of £80 being paid in £1.50 a month installments. Not even worth the fuel to go and get the cheques is it really!?
