Prison video conference (VC) links (from 4 August 2023)

For prison VC links and the Glasgow Sheriff Court to Barlinnie TV link, you can use the “Client not present and agrees with the declaration terms” reason for A&A/ABWOR cases.

For all other legal aid applications, enter the date the client was seen in the field asking for the date the form was signed, and then add a brief explanation about the circumstances, and confirm that the client agrees with the terms of the declaration. This can be done elsewhere in the application, for example, in the “additional financial information box”.
