Do I qualify for legal aid?
Qualification is not based on income alone. We will usually need to understand:
- The legal problem and any deadlines, notices or hearing dates
- Your income, benefits, savings and household circumstances
- Whether the matter falls within the legal-aid scheme
- Any documents or decisions connected with the case
We cannot guarantee eligibility before assessing the information, but we can explain what evidence is needed and whether another funding option may be available.
