You may, of course, ask a solicitor to help you to make an application, and the Board will pay the solicitor's reasonable costs and expenses. But you may instead get help from a survivors' group, a member of your family or a friend. Or you may simply apply to the Board in person.
Where a person who may be entitled to redress is under the age of 18 or unable to manage his or her own affairs, the application may be made by a relative or other person on his or her behalf.
Where a person who may be entitled to redress has died since 11 May 1999, the application may be made by his or her spouse or children.
