The Crime Victims Compensation Board decides compensation claims from survivors of violent crime who have no other resources to pay for the medical, funeral, mental health counseling, and dental or corrective lens expenses resulting from the crime. Assistance can also include lost wages of the survivor or loss of support for someone dependent on the victim.
