Civil Keycard: Disposable capital

The lower capital eligibility limit, on or below which a person will not have to pay a contribution	£7,853
The upper capital eligibility limit, above which SLAB may refuse a person legal aid if it considers they can afford to proceed without it	£13,017

If someone’s disposable capital is between £7,853 and £13,017 they are eligible on capital, but will have to pay a contribution. This contribution is equal to the difference between their capital and £7,853.

Unlike advice and assistance there are no statutory allowances from capital for partners or dependants.
