Shane90

Hello I'm looking advice... I was sexual abused as a child froth age of 11-16 I'm now 23 and have had a claim pending with cica for a few Years iv had an offer of £22.000 for excess of 3 years abuse. But I'm left disabled I have a bowl disorder from the abuse and I leak blood and discharge and been told there's nothin they can do for me I'm also left mentally damaged ie don't leave my house hardly. Dint have trust for people. Can't hold friends and just struggle with my every day life I'm never going to work Ect I ended ip leaving school from the age of 11 as I was scared Togo out so I have nothin behind me to get the life I wanted.. I did ask for a review and it came back the same offer of 22.000 and the only was I could review again was go to court but I don't have confidence todo that so I accepted... But I feel iv been given the wrong amount totally.... Any advice and what d you think I should have got from it all ? Iv just sent a letter asking to claim loss of earnings as I can't work and extra care costs..

Anyone help ????

I'm sorry but I don't think anyone is going to be able to tell you whether you have been awarded the wrong amount.

One thing I can suggest is that if you have house insurance you check to see whether you have paid for legal help.

The only other thing I can think of is using a No Win No Fee Solicitor.

This is a specialised area, sorry.

Have you been in touch with Victim Support, they can give advice/assistance with CICA claims?

£22,000 is at the upper end of awards for sexual abuse and includes an element for mental/physical damage as well but you need proper advice from someone with access to all the papers.
