Eligible applicants for the consolation money are landmine accident victims or their bereaved families from July 27, 1953, to April 15, 2012.

In the Gyeonggi area, as of the end of March, a total of 185 landmine accident victims and their bereaved families were approved as recipients, and about 7.6 billion won in consolation money and medical support funds were paid.
