April 2007 Following a Parliamentary question by the Leader of
the Opposition David Cameron, the government has released
statistics on the performance and volumes associated with
CICA claims.
This data is rarely publicised and is very useful in determining
how the CICA is managing its workload.

| (1) This records the number of cases re-opened on medical
grounds in the 12 months ending 28-02-2007. |
|
| (2) This records the number of payments made during the period.
If a claim has had more than one payment during the period, it
is only counted once. If the same victim has had payments on
separate claims during the period, these are counted, but again
only once for each claim. The table does not show the number of
claimants whose applications are unsuccessful. On average, some
46 per cent. of claimants do not qualify for compensation under
the scheme. |
