General - Can an individual have a representative to file for CICP benefits on their behalf?

If an individual receives a covered countermeasure and has been seriously injured by it, a representative may submit a Request for Benefits (PDF - 245 KB) with the CICP on his/her behalf.

Please note that in cases where the injured countermeasure recipient is a minor or an adult who lacks the legal capacity to file for or receive benefits, a legal or personal representative must be used.

The CICP is not authorized to provide reimbursement for attorneys’ fees.
