Part 2: Determinations in respect of an individual's financial resources — CHAPTER 2: Making a determination in respect of an individual's financial resources

Where—

the Director has determined under regulation 8 that the individual's financial resources are such that the individual is eligible to receive civil legal services; and
it appears to the Director that the circumstances of the individual may have changed so that—
their normal disposable income may have increased by an amount greater than £60 or decreased by an amount greater than £25; or
their disposable capital may have increased by an amount greater than £750,

the Director must, subject to paragraph (7), make a further determination in respect of the individual's financial resources ... in accordance with these Regulations.

Where—

the Director has determined under regulation 6 that the individual's financial resources are such that the individual is eligible for civil legal services; and
it appears to the Director that the individual is not, or is no longer, properly in receipt, directly or indirectly, of a benefit or support referred to in that regulation,

the Director must, subject to paragraph (7), make a further determination in respect of the individual's financial resources ... in accordance with these Regulations.

For the purposes of the further determination under paragraph (1) or (2), the period of calculation must be the period of one month following the date of the change of circumstances or such other period of one month as the Director considers appropriate.

Where a further determination is made, the amount or value of every resource of a capital nature acquired since the date the original application was made must be ascertained as at the date of receipt of that resource.
