Hi All
Not sure if this is in th e correct forum, my apologies if not.
I am looking for some advice / help with regard to my partners criminal injuries claim (through the CICA).
Basically he was assaulted last year by an unknown person, who was never caught, and suffered broken cheekbone, damage to teeth requiring major dental work along with the trauma and stress caused by the incident.
My question is this. We have just received the initial award letter from the CICA with an amouny t that they beleive is correct . Whilst the award is in the strict guidelines ( i.e. 1005 % for first 'injury' 30% for second most severe and 15% for the tird most severe) the amount awarded for in relation to the damage to the teeth (2nd and 3rd most severe injuries) doesnt even cover the bill for the dental work required (crowns, root treatment, etc)
Is it possible to appeal the percentage of the amounts awarded (for the 2nd & 3rd injuries) or is this amount fixed and set in stone?
I hope this all makes sense to (its confusing me trying to get my head round it!! lol)
Any advice help greatly appreciated.

p.s. we are in Scotland in case that makes a difference
You can only appeal the whole award, may be worth a shot however my experiences with the CICA in Glasgow is that they dont like to budge much once an award has been granted.
I honestly don't know where these people are from. Your partner gets next to nought for serious injuries and some Raf typist get £484,000 because she got repetitive strain injury to her thumb.
The mind boggles, it really does.
