(1) A person who may be eligible for compensation under this part 1 may apply to the board in the judicial district in which the crime was committed. In a case in which the person entitled to apply is a minor, the application may be made on the minor's behalf by the minor's parent or guardian. In a case in which the person entitled to apply is mentally incompetent, the application may be made on the person's behalf by the person's parent, conservator, or guardian or by any other individual authorized to administer the person's estate.

The report shall be in relation to the injury for which compensation is claimed. If, in the opinion of the board, reports on the previous medical history of the victim, a report on the examination of the injured victim, or the report on the cause of death of the victim by a medical expert would be of material aid to its determination, the board may order the reports.
