what is the income limit for legal aid
An applicant for legal aid has a gross income of Â£20,800 and his partnerâs is Â£11,000. They have a child aged 9 next birthday, a child aged 5 next birthday and a child aged 2 next birthday.
It is aimed at people on benefits or on very low incomes. On non-criminal legal aid, the basic rule in England and Wales is that you will not be covered if your gross income is more than Â£31,884 a year (Â£2,657 a month). This should include your partner's income, if you are living together. There are other adjustments.
