  "heading": "Step 5",
  "text": "(1) Step 5 (as to which, see sub-paragraph (3)) arises only if compensation for having suffered abuse to which the redress payment relates has previously been paid to the person who suffered the abuse.\n(2) The reference in sub-paragraph (1) to compensation paid for having suffered abuse is a reference to an amount in recognition of abuse suffered that is paid—\n(a) in proceedings on a claim,\n(b) in settlement of a claim (whether or not proceedings on the claim were brought before a court or tribunal), or\n(c) under a statutory or non-statutory scheme or some other arrangement.\n(3) Step 5 is to deduct the amount of compensation from the amount of the redress payment except in so far as that would give a number less than zero.\n(4) Accordingly, if the amount of the compensation exceeds the amount of the redress payment, the amount of the redress payment is zero.\n(5) In a case within sub-paragraph (2)(c), the references in sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) to the amount of compensation do not include—\n(a) an amount paid under the scheme commonly known as “the Interim Support Scheme” established by the Archbishops’ Council for the purpose of giving immediate help and support to certain persons who have suffered abuse,\n(b) an amount paid under a scheme established by the Archbishops’ Council to replace the Interim Support Scheme, or\n(c) an amount paid for the provision of psychotherapy or counselling.",
