Here you will find the latest information regarding legal aid updates made to our Millennium Accounts software to comply with changes required by the Legal Services Commission.
The following information has been supplied by the LSC and is accurate at the time of inclusion. Please refer to the LSC website for the most up to date information.
Transitional Arrangements:
These will follow the same approach that has been used in previous updates to LSC Online where the changes are implemented on a single switch over date.
This will be over night on the 31st May 2009, with the new functionality in place on 1st June 2009.
All submissions submitted and APPROVED by LSC Online prior to the switch over date will be accepted using the current arrangements. After this date (1/6/2009) all outcomes reported will have to adhere to the new reporting and validation arrangements regardless of when the work was started, completed or the submission month it is included in. This will include work entered into LSC Online but not yet in a status of APPROVED (i.e it is has not yet been accepted by the LSC and therefore can still be updated by the supplier).
Further info can be found at LSC website, click this link for how to use LSC online.
Overview
The Millennium Accounts release of 5.75.0 primarily contains the latest major Legal Aid changes dealing with LSC submissions from 1st June onwards.
You will probably have received notification of this directly from the LSC (OPSIS are not responsible for supplying this information).
Below is the relevant information from the release notes:-
Civil Billing - Mental Health Meeting Codes:
A new set of meeting codes, for Mental Health cases, are available which replace the existing LSC codes and must be used for submissions from 01/06/2009 onwards. The new meeting codes begin with MTGA. e.g. “MTGA01 - No meetings attended.” Any bills already posted using the old meeting codes, but not yet submitted, must be amended to use the new meeting codes using the Bill Legal Aid Claim Detail screen prior to bulk load submission or they risk rejection.
Civil Billing - Controlled Legal Representation:
There is additional mandatory data required from all immigration/asylum providers in relation to how many times Controlled Legal Representation was granted in the month, how many times it was refused and how many times CLR was withdrawn. It is mandatory that all immigration providers supply this data. You can enter this information from the LSC Online Bulk Load screen.
