Dear Honorable [Judge's Name or "Court of Claims"],
Subject: Request for Consideration of Additional Factors for Wrongful Incarceration Compensation
I am writing to respectfully request consideration of additional factors in my compensation claim for wrongful incarceration. In *, I was wrongfully sentenced to two years in IDOC. Following a post-conviction relief in *, my case was vacated and expunged. I am currently awaiting my Certificate of Innocence, expected within the next five days, to proceed with my compensation claim.
During my incarceration, my Social Security Disability benefits were suspended, resulting in a loss of $*,*. The reinstatement process took two months post-release. Furthermore, my incarceration has adversely impacted my mental and physical health, for which I have obtained supporting medical documentation.
I kindly request that the court consider these factors, including reimbursement for the suspended benefits, in addition to any standard compensation. Additionally, I seek clarification on whether reimbursement for parole time is included in compensatory considerations.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a favorable resolution.
Sincerely,
