Financial eligibility tool to be trialled for provider use

Providers checking client financial eligibility for legal aid can now access a spreadsheet tool used by our caseworkers.

We are making the spreadsheet available on a trial basis. It should only be used as a guidance support tool alongside the resources available on our GOV.UK means testing page. The spreadsheet does not replace the need for a full assessment of a client’s finances. The accuracy of the results in the spreadsheet depends on the accuracy of the information entered.

View detailed guidance on how to use the eligibility tool.

You may find the eligibility key card useful in assessing financial eligibility.

Feedback on the spreadsheet is welcome.

Disclaimer - This calculator is intended to be used as a guide only and does not replace the need for a full assessment of an applicant’s finances. The accuracy of the result provided depends entirely on the accuracy of the information entered and it should be used in conjunction with the Lord Chancellors Guidance and key card.
