Category "B" ClaimsCategory "B" claims are claims submitted by individuals
who suffered serious personal injury or whose spouse, child or parent died
as a result of Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait. Compensation for
successful claims in this category was set at US$2,500 for individuals
and up to US$10,000 for families. The Commission received approximately
6,000 category "B" claims submitted by forty-seven Governments and seven
offices of three international organisations, seeking a total of approximately
US$21 million in compensation.
 The number of category "B" claims filed by claimant Governments. In December 1995, the Commission concluded the category
"B" claims processing programme. Payment of US$13,450,000 in compensation
was made available from January 1994 to December 1996 for distribution
to 3,945 successful claimants. The Commission paid
all the successful category "B" claims in full from funds made available
by a number of Governments pursuant to Security Council
