A-13.2.1 - Act respecting assistance and compensation for victims of crime

Section 51 Disposition versions

2999-12-31

51. Notwithstanding section 50, a victim who, on the date of the manifestation of the injury, is 65 years of age or over is entitled to an income replacement indemnity for the first 180 days after that date if

(1)  he becomes unable to hold employment that he could have held during that period;

(2)  he is, although entitled thereto, deprived of unemployment insurance benefits paid under the Unemployment Insurance Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter U-1) or allowances paid under the National Training Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter N-19).

During that period, the victim is entitled to the indemnity, in the case described in subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph, for such time as the employment would have been available and for such time as he is unable to hold it and, in the case described in subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph, for such time as he is deprived of the benefits or allowances.

If, however, both subparagraphs 1 and 2 of the first paragraph apply, the victim cannot receive the two indemnities to which the situations described therein give rise, but shall receive the greater of the two for as long as the situation prevails.

From the one hundred and eighty-first day after the date of the manifestation of the injury, the victim is entitled to an income replacement indemnity computed in accordance with the provisions of sections 29 and 30, subject to section 49.
