— Version 19 (dated 14/8/23, published 1/9/23) is the same as amended version 18 (published 14/8/23) except for the footer which now states "Version 19". The only differences between version 19 and original version 18 (published 3/8/23) are amendments to the guidance notes on page 2. The LAA will accept original version 18 as long as the form is completed in accordance with the amended guidance (see Legal Aid Agency, 'Civil news: immigration and mental health work forms updated' (1/9/23)). Presumably they will also accept amended v18 as its contents are the same as v19. Note 1 now reads "As you have answered YES to questions 1 and 2 confirming that the client is a child who is applying for Controlled Legal Representation, no further assessment is required. Go directly to [Please complete the Case Details and Merits Criteria on page 6 and] the client declaration on page 11." Note 2 now reads: "As you have answered NO to questions 3, 4 and 5, confirming that the client is a child who is not to be aggregated with a maintaining adult and does not have a regular income or capital in excess of £2,500, no further assessment is required. Go directly to [Please complete the Case Details and Merits Criteria on page 6 and] the client declaration on page 11.
