Calculate the correct Legal Aid hourly rates for Welfare Benefits matters. Designed for solicitors and law firms working under the civil legal aid contract, with National and London rates applied automatically by date.
This calculator has been developed to assist solicitors and law firms handling Welfare Benefits cases funded under the civil legal aid scheme. It provides a straightforward way for Welfare Benefits practitioners to confirm the correct hourly rate applicable to work undertaken in tribunal hearings or court proceedings.
By selecting the relevant date, the tool automatically calculates the applicable rate and allows users to switch between National and London rates as required. The Lawsyst team maintains this calculator to reflect current Legal Aid Agency fee guidance and updates as they are introduced.
Comments and suggestions are welcomed and help inform future improvements to this tool.
