RAF PAYMENTS
SETTLED, BUT NOT YET PAID?
The RAF has 180 days from the date of settlement or a court order to pay a claim. Yet many claimants wait far longer -sometimes years – for compensation that has already been agreed or awarded.
de Broglio Attorneys does everything within its power to pursue these overdue payments. Our recent campaign highlighted the severe hardship caused by the RAF’s payment delays and called on the Fund to honour its obligations to claimants.
180 DAYS
THE RAF’S PAYMENT TARGET
Payment times may vary.
WHAT THE 180-DAY TARGET MEANS
Once a claim has been settled, payment does not always follow immediately.
The 180-day period is the RAF’s stated payment target, but individual matters may take longer.
CLAIM SETTLED
The settlement amount is agreed.
PAYMENT PROCESSING
The RAF processes the agreed payment.
PAYMENT RECEIVED
Funds are paid once processing is complete.
Every matter is different. Ask your attorney about the status of your individual claim.
