Receiving a compensation payout after an accident or injury can be life-changing. It may provide financial security, help with care costs, and support your long-term recovery.

Parents, family members and even the Government could pay into the account, and the child would access the money at age 18. But what happens if, when the child turns 18, they lack the mental capacity to manage their own finances?
