A government scheme which compensates crime victims says the rules need updating because of rising historical sex abuse cases.
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme will present its annual report to Tynwald in November.
The report says it's seeing more applications for historical physical and sexual abuse, and they're becoming so common they may not be considered "exceptional cases" to allow them to be considered outside normal time limits.
And the document says rule changes would mean it could consider applications years after the abuse and award more money for the worst cases.
