Part 1: The Historical Institutional Abuse Redress Board Section 3: Restrictions on entitlement to claim compensation
This section deals with applications relating specifically to abuse suffered under the ‘Child Migrants Programme’ and the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) scheme.
	Subsections (1), 2(a) and (2)(b) relate to applications in respect of deceased persons. An application can be made to the Board in respect of a person who died on or after 1 April 1953 and before 1 March 2018. An application can also be made to the Board in respect of a person who died on or after 1 March 2018 if compensation has not already been awarded, or an application for compensation is not pending, under the IICSA scheme.
	Subsection (2)(c) provides that a person who has not received an award, nor has an application for compensation pending under the IICSA scheme, can apply to the Board.
	Subsection (3) means that a person may withdraw an application under the IICSA scheme and apply to the Board instead.
	Subsection (4) defines the IICSA scheme. Under the IICSA scheme, a former child migrant sent away from anywhere in the UK and Crown Dependencies can claim a £20,000 compensation award. This is the same amount that will be awarded by the Board.
