Legal Aid is very important to clients with limited means who need representation in the courts.
Legal aid is subject to means testing and this is causing considerable delays.
If you need legal aid, we will need to submit an application as soon as possible.
We can supply you with the necessary forms.
You will normally need to support your application with proof of your income (wage slips for you and your partner) OR a letter from the job centre confirming that you are in receipt of Universal Credit, Job Seekers Allowance, Employment Support Allowance or Income Support) and proof of your rent or mortgage if it is more than 500 per month.
