The new Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) is now operating and will soon replace the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal (VOCAT).
VOCAT is working to finalise all pending applications to conclude operations, which may be as early as 30 May 2025, save for a small volume of residual matters.
VOCAT may not consider applications to reinstate.
Further information regarding the transition is available here
