The board shall determine the eligibility of claims for injuries sustained as the result of domestic abuse in the same manner as other claims. No claim resulting from an incident of domestic abuse may be denied based solely upon a finding that a claimant resides or has resided with the alleged offender of the crime for which the claim has been filed. The board shall not reduce or deny an award when enrichment of the offender is inconsequential or minimal. The board shall not deny payments to service providers based upon a finding that the claimant and offender are maintaining a relationship.
No claim may be denied because it succeeds previous claims for victimization by the same offender.
