answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2014 answer text <p>The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) publishes data about the reasons applications are ineligible in its annual reports at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?departments%5B%5D=criminal-injuries-compensation-authority&amp;publication_type=corporate-reports" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?departments%5B%5D=criminal-injuries-compensation-authority&amp;publication_type=corporate-reports</a></p><p> </p><p>The published figures show the number of times each refusal reason was used. That does not reflect an accurate total of ineligible cases because some cases are ineligible for multiple reasons. The accurate total of ineligible cases for the calendar years specified is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Ineligible cases</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>27,302</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>23,316</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>25,385</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>23,783</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014 (up to 8 July)</p></td><td><p>11,309</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>I have placed records showing why each of these cases was ineligible in the House of Commons library. CICA uses injuries as the basis for a payment so very few ineligible cases have injuries recorded for them. Where an injury has been assessed and entered on the case file it is included in the records provided.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ashford answering member printed Damian Green question first answered 10/07/2014 16:09:26 answering member 76 label Biography information for Damian Green
