<p>The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2012 (the Scheme), which was approved
by Parliament, sets out the time limits in which applications must be received by
the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). The CICA publishes data about
the number of claims rejected for being out with the time limit in its annual reports
and accounts at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/search/transparency-and-freedom-of-information-releases?organisations%5B%5D=criminal-injuries-compensation-authority&parent=criminal-injuries-compensation-authority"

</p><p>In the 2017-18 annual report and accounts, this data was presented as a proportion
of all refusal reasons used. The number of cases refused for being submitted out with
the time limit was 1252.</p><p> </p><p>The figures published in the annual reports
and accounts show the number of times each rejection reason was used. For some applications
there will have been more than one reason for rejection. This means that the total
number of reasons for rejection is higher than the actual number of claims refused.</p>
