Duty Solicitor - Means test

Verification of income of applicants.
With the exception of FIRST contact duty matters the means of adult applicants and spouse/partner must be verified. The Duty Solicitor may appear on behalf of an applicant who satisfies the means test on the first occasion without sighting verification documents but subsequent appearances cannot be made until verification documents are sighted. These documents are:

Income
Salaried applicants
  • a recent pay slip or other evidence of income such as a letter from an employer setting out gross wages (including any overtime) and taxation deductions for at least the last three months.

    Applicants receiving Social Security benefits
  • statement from Department of Social Security.

    Self-employed applicants
  • copy of the most recent full tax return.

    Assets
    Statement showing the past three months operation on all accounts maintained with financial institutions by applicant and spouse/partner.
