Help with Fees

Court fee remission options for low-income litigants.

What is Help with Fees?

HMCTS waives or reduces court fees for litigants who qualify under Form EX160. The decision is means-tested against income, savings, and household composition. Many litigants in person qualify and never know.

Who qualifies

  • Universal Credit recipients (with annual earnings under threshold)
  • Income-based JSA, ESA, Pension Credit, Income Support
  • Low household income (varies by family size)
  • Savings under £4,250 (under-66) or £16,000 (over-66)

How Chris helps

  • Drafts your EX160 with the correct supporting evidence
  • Cross-references with your case so the application matches your filing
  • Re-drafts if HMCTS reject the first application
  • Explains what counts as income, savings, and household members
