Letter to the NSW victims support scheme answering a request for further information or evidence: lists each item requested, encloses what is provided, explains anything still to come with a date, and protects against the 12-month lapse rule.

## Key facts

- Kind: Letter. A letter or email you adapt and send.
- Practice area: [Victims of Crime Support & Compensation](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md)
- Jurisdictions: New South Wales
- AI level: Yellow. AI can help in set ways. A lawyer checks specific points before use.
- Law stated as at: 2026-10-18
- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-18 against the 2 authorities it cites, for New South Wales.

## When to use it

Use when the NSW scheme asks for more evidence or information about an application. Answer promptly; an application lapses if requested evidence is not provided within 12 months of the first request.

## Used for these tasks

- [Respond to a scheme's request for further information](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md#A62-V20261018-6)
- [Index the police, medical and counselling records for a victims' application](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md#A62-V20261018-2)

## How AI may be used

AI may match each requested item to documents on file and fill the table; the lawyer decides what to provide and checks every enclosure.

**AI may:**

- List each item in the scheme’s request and match it to documents on file
- Fill the reference, dates and the enclosures table

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft, summarise or outline the victim’s own account of the violence or its impact
- Must not add statements about the victim’s injuries or circumstances that are not in the records
- Must not send the letter

**The lawyer checks:**

- Every requested item is answered or explained
- Enclosures contain only what the client has agreed to provide
- The 12-month lapse date is diarised

## Authorities

- [Victims Rights and Support Act 2013 (NSW) s 39 (documentary evidence required)](https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/act-2013-037)
- [Victims Rights and Support Act 2013 (NSW) s 41A (lapsing of application if evidence not provided)](https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/act-2013-037)
