    On those figures you are probably entitled to legal aid. You will have to complete a means form which includes bank accounts.

    As far as I know if you earn less than 18k p.a. you should qualify for Free Legal Aid.

    Check with your local Citizens Information Centre where the staff will confirm the upper threshold.
