legal aid

i've just been turned down for legal aid today ... i can't believe it though!
both me and my partner are on very very low incomes but my solicitor advised me we are way over the income threshold. does anyone know where else i can go to have the figures looked over again just to double check the solicitor is right.
by the way i have checked on the legal aid calculator on the internet and this does indicate that we do qualify, but i want to check with an organisation or person before going back to my solicitor.
any advice greatly recevied

Try talking to someone at CAB maybe?0

Do you have any equity in property? This is also included in legal aid assessments now and can rule people out even if they have a nil income.0

If you've checked the legal aid calculator from the Community Legal Advice site then it should be right. Here's the link to it.
