Other loss (for example, due to extended education duration)

You have the opportunity to apply for compensation for "other losses" due to a criminal offense. Other loss may include expenses for measures intended to secure or improve your functional capacity.

This can include, for example, future or ongoing healthcare costs, expenses for assistive devices, or costs for adapting a home for accessibility.

The rule is found in section 1 of the Liability and Compensation Act.

Regarding extended education duration:

If your education is extended because you have been the victim of a criminal offense, you can apply for compensation.

The compensation is typically set as a standardized amount, which is currently 35,000 DKK per half year of lost schooling and 70,000 DKK for a full lost school year.

It is important to note that compensation for extended education duration requires that you have completed the education.
