The following figures reflect cases where a Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) claims officer overturned another claims officer's decision to refuse compensation. This happens when the claimant asks CICA to review the case. This is distinct from an appeal, which is heard by the Tribunals Service.

2002-03 3,153
