Our calculator tool in main menu or below will help you with estimating the potential compensation that may be paid in respect of your claim. However be aware that figures do vary considerably depending upon the nature (severity) of the abuse, period of suffering and whether any mental harm has been caused. Some common example award payouts are listed below relevant to the acts or abuse perpetrated:
- Molestation above clothing: £1,500 – £2,000
- Non penile penetrative acts: £3,300 – £8,200
- Penile penetrative assaults single event or over a period (rape assaults): £11,000 – £22,000
If you suffer with mental illness you can only claim for this element if you have a condition diagnosed by a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist. This is the standard of evidence that the CICA (very unreasonably) require. The following awards are paid for such cases:
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) recovery likely: up to £13,500
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) condition likely to be lifelong: £22,000
- Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) – up to £22,000
- Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) generally deemed lifelong: £22,000
You can only receive one main award, so you will not be compensated for both the abuse itself and also any mental health condition. You receive the higher award from the two categories.
