You need to get in touch with citizens advice to point you in the right direction, your son should be entitled to a payout especially if it has had a massive impact on his mental health, I remember you telling us about that.I dunno if i believe that. If Dave hadn’t been sentenced then i don’t think any compensation would have been ordered. I’m not 100% on that though. My son got mugged by a random with a knife, took his ring and small amount of money off him. Threatened to slash his throat and he got no compensation
