Victims Support Act 2013

An application for victims support lapses if—

12 months has passed since the applicant was first requested to provide evidence to support the application, and

the applicant has, during that 12-month period, been requested on at least 3 separate occasions to provide that evidence, and

the Scheme Executive decides that the applicant does not have a valid reason for failing to provide that evidence.

Subsection (1) applies regardless of whether any claim under the application has been determined.

The Scheme Executive is to notify the applicant that the application has lapsed under this section.

The lapsing of an application for victims support under this section does not prevent the applicant from making another application for victims support.
