Victims of drink spiking/drug facilitated sexual assault (DFSA), like any other victim of a violent crime, can apply to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) for compensation for the injuries and abuse they may have sustained.

It doesn’t matter whether they were assaulted whilst they were unconscious or because drink or drugs had impaired their senses so that they couldn’t give consent – consent can never be implied - it is still a crime.

The CICA is a government body and the damage payments that they make comes from the taxpayer and is yours to claim by right. Your attacker will never know you are claiming and all your details will be kept confidential.
