## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Victims of Crime Support & Compensation](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the description the lawyer has marked, record the hours already approved, whether a current government-issued identification document is on the file, and whether the applicant is under 18. Do not decide who is eligible and do not write an account of the violence. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides which victim description applies, whether further hours can be asked for, and approves the form before it is sent. The lawyer reads the eligibility page before treating a description as met. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Record hours and identity documents, and leave eligibility to the lawyer.

- What the AI does: From the description the lawyer has marked, record the hours already approved, whether a current government-issued identification document is on the file, and whether the applicant is under 18. Do not decide who is eligible and do not write an account of the violence.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which victim description applies, whether further hours can be asked for, and approves the form before it is sent. The lawyer reads the eligibility page before treating a description as met.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a scheme classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check the hours and each identity document against the file named in the row.
2. Confirm the row does not say the person is eligible or that further hours will be approved.
3. Confirm the row does not contain an account of the violence.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
- The eligibility page, the family-victim support page, and the supporting-documents page were not opened. This is not the eligibility and deadline register.
