What is Legal Aid?

If your gross monthly income is less than £2,350 and you have savings of less than £8,000, you may be eligible for financial assistance, known as Legal Aid, towards your costs.

Your entitlement will need to be calculated taking into account your monthly income and living costs.

We will help you to calculate your entitlement and submit a claim for funding.

If you receive Legal Aid funding you may have to pay a monthly contribution towards your costs.

If you are on income support or income based job seeker’s allowance, you will qualify for Legal Aid.
