Court dismisses appeal against violence compensation fund decision due to missing psychiatric diagnosis for higher injury category.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Council of State confirmed the lower court's dismissal of the applicant's appeal against the Violence Compensation Fund's decision. The applicant argued for a higher injury category based on severe physical trauma and long-term limitations, but the Fund applied a policy requiring a specific complex psychiatric diagnosis for such categories. The court ruled that without this mandatory psychiatric diagnosis, the claim for a higher category failed, though the applicant may apply for supplementary compensation later.
