How it works
There are 2 types of applications for Scotland’s Redress Scheme for survivors. You can apply for either:
-
a fixed rate payment of £10,000, or
-
an individually assessed payment of up to £100,000
Read the 'Help to apply' guidance for more information about how to fill in your application.
If you accept a payment offer, your UK benefits will not be reduced or stopped.
Fixed rate payment - £10,000
For a fixed rate payment, please complete Part 1 and Part 2 of the application forms.
For a fixed rate payment, you must show you were living in a care setting when you were abused - however, you do not need to give documents as evidence of your abuse.
This information will be used by Redress Scotland's panel to make a decision about your application.
Individually assessed payment - up to £100,000
For an individually assessed payment, you must complete Part 1 and Part 3 of the application forms.
The information you give will be looked at by a panel, who will consider your application and how much money they might be able to offer you.
For an individually assessed payment, you will also need to provide supporting documents as evidence of your abuse.
Next of kin applications
A next of kin application is for a fixed payment of £10,000.
You can apply for a next of kin payment if your partner or parent was abused:
- as a child (when they were 17 years old or younger)
- before 1 December 2004
- in a relevant care setting
- in Scotland
Your partner or parent must have also died on or after 1 December 2004.
