The board established to award compensation to victims of historical institutional abuse has decided on more than 200 cases since it was established in March.
New figures requested by The Irish News show that the Redress Board has made 206 determinations this year.
Around £6.2 million has been awarded to victims.
A total of six survivors have been given an award of between £70,000 and £80,000 - the highest amount possible.
Long-awaited legislation to set up a redress board for victims of historical institutional abuse was passed at Westminster in November last year - almost three years after an inquiry exposed serious sexual, physical and emotional abuse over decades at children's homes run by religious orders, charities and the state.
The board decides on the level of compensation depending on the seriousness of the abuse suffered.
Applicants are placed into one of five compensation bands.
The figures show that of the 206 people awarded compensation, 28 were given less than £10,000; 78 are receiving between £10,000 and just under £30,000; 68 were awarded between £30,000 and just under £50,000; and 26 were given between £50,000 and just under £70,000.
The remaining six people were awarded between £70,000 and £80,000. The top band compensates people who were subjected to repeated physical or sexual abuse.
The board said that six panels are sitting every week. Each one considers three or four applications "depending on the amount of supporting material provided and/or complexity of the application".
It takes on average 56 working days for each application to be considered and an award to be determined.
The figures come as the north's first Commissioner for Survivors of Institutional Childhood Abuse (Cosica) prepares to take up her role.
Cork-born Fiona Ryan is to begin her five-year role as commissioner on December 14.
A former journalist and communications consultant, Ms Ryan will have a statutory duty to work for the interests of anyone who suffered abuse as a child while they were a resident at an institution between 1922 and 1995.
Survivors and Victims of Institutional Abuse (Savia) met Ms Ryan for the first time yesterday,
Margaret McGuckin, from Savia, said they urged the commissioner to press for a swifter compensation process.
"We've had hundreds of complaints that people have been waiting since March," she said.
"Our first request to Fiona Ryan is to ask her to see if the process can be speeded up. It's taking too long. More people have passed on whilst waiting."
