Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many applications for support from Victim Surcharge Fund have been received from victim support organisations; what the total value is of these; how many (a) have been approved, (b) have been rejected and (c) are yet to be processed; how much it has paid out so far, and what the expected total payment from the fund is.
Answer
The closing date for applications to the Victim Surcharge Fund from victim support organisations was 12 February 2021. Five applications have been received.
More detailed information, including amounts awarded to successful applicants, will be available once the applications have been assessed and awards have been made. I also refer to the previous answer given to PQ S5W-34365 on 1 February 2021, that stated awards will be made before the end of March 2021.
