The table below provides the number of compensation awards paid in each of the last five financial years to applicants living in Glasgow.

2020-21 | 349 | £3,584,374 |

**The table does not include archived bereavement applications because the address of the applicant is not retained. In most cases, applications are archived three years after the case has been closed.
