    In some human rights matters, Legal Aid may be available in exceptional circumstances — please enquire with the office.

    If working, you may qualify where cash savings are under £3,000 and monthly disposable income is under £753. Bring payslips, bank statements or other proof of income and savings.

    If not employed, bring a supporting letter with photo ID of the person financially supporting you. Their means are not assessed — only that you receive support.

  5. 05

    Appeals require both a means test and a merits test (prospects of success).
