The Legal Advice and Assistance (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 1999
These Regulations amend the Legal Advice and Assistance Regulations 1989, so as to replace references to family credit and disability working allowance with references to working families' tax credit and disabled person’s tax credit, following the changes made by the Tax Credits Act 1999. A recipient of one of these tax credits will be eligible for advice and assistance provided that the amount to be deducted from the weekly maximum allowance does not exceed £70. Those in receipt of family credit or disability working allowance under a decision made before the coming into force of these Regulations will continue to be eligible for advice and assistance.
