When applicable, direct <br /> assistance in completing the application form and filling is done by the Victim's Assistant/Advocate. The <br /> original packet is completed (including a copy of the case report) and mailed directly to the Office of the <br /> Attorney General, a copy is given to the victim, and a copy is kept with the Victim's Assistant/Advocate <br /> for follow-up.
