Domestic abuse
Compensation
If your abuser is convicted of a criminal offence, the court can order them to pay you compensation.
You can also claim compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme. Contact the Victim Support Scheme, Citizens Advice or your trade union for further advice or help with filling out the compensation form.
