- Provide proof that they possess adequate office facilities and case management systems including substantive back up and library facilities.
- Show that they have attended continuing education courses relevant to practicing personal injury law. Continuing professional development is substantive and is an annual recurring requirement.

Nationwide CICA Applications
The CICA has offices located in Glasgow and London which handle claims from applicants in England, Scotland and Wales. Residents of Northern Ireland utilise a separate scheme with an office located in Belfast. Victims of violent crimes can apply to the CICA for compensation for physical injuries and mental trauma caused by the violent offence. Each year, the CICA pays out more than £200,000,000 to over 70,000 applicants.
How Long Does it Take?
The CICA is able to resolve approximately 90% of the claims it receives within 12 months. More complicated cases, such as those involving the loss of future earnings, or cases where a criminal trial is pending, may take longer. On average, it takes eight months for a claim to be processed.
CICA Reviews & Appeals
If you are not satisfied with the CICA's initial decision, you have the right to request that your application be reviewed by a senior case officer. An independent Appeals Panel hears appeals brought by applicants unhappy with the outcome of the requested review.
