Changes have been made to the CWA digital billing service to enable you to start claiming for the revised immigration and asylum ‘stage 2c fee’.

What is a ‘stage 2c fee’?

The new fee applies where appeal skeleton arguments (ASA) or written submissions have been needed.

It applies to controlled legal representation (CLR) work under the 2018 civil contract. The stage 2a and 2b fees will still apply in certain circumstances.

The revised fees were introduced on 8 June 2020 and will last for one year. They are as follows:

  • £627 for asylum appeals

  • £527 for immigration appeals

The updated version of the immigration and asylum specification for the 2018 civil contract is now available on GOV.UK.
