Claiming expenses
The Witness Care Officer will provide you with the expense claim form.
The claim form sets out what you can claim for, including expenses for travel (if we have not arranged this for you), an allowance for meals and loss of earnings. The amount you can claim will depend on the length of time you have to be away from home or work to go to court. You can claim expenses only up to when you are released by the court.
You cannot claim expenses for a friend or relative who may accompany you. However, if you need someone to help with your mobility or for certain other reasons, they may be able to claim expenses such as travel. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Please attach receipts for expenses to your claim form. We do our best to pay claims within 10 days of receipt.
