(LXR) v The First-tier Tribunal (Social Entitlement Chamber) and another
Wednesday 5 – Thursday 6 November 2025
By Appellant’s Notice submitted on 19 November 2024, the Criminal Injures Compensation Authority (CICA), respondent below, appeal the decision of Upper Tribunal (Administrative Appeals Chamber) dated 16 July 2024 quashing the decision of the First-tier Tribunal dated 9 May 2023.
The issue relates to CICA’s power to re-open an application for a material change in medical condition under paragraphs 114-116 of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2012; specifically whether the Scheme permits a previously accepted award to be re-opened where an applicant seeks to rely on new medical evidence attributing their medical condition to a relevant crime of violence, when the medical evidence previously relied upon did not do so.
