Passported benefits


[ch 13: page 455]

Claimants on income-based Job Seekers Allowance, Income Support or income-related Employment and Support Allowance qualify automatically for full fee remission. So do claimants on universal credit with gross annual earnings below £6,000, state pension guarantee credit or Scottish Legal Aid. These are known as passported benefits.
