The national legal aid telephone helpline has changed its name from Community Legal Service Direct to Community Legal Advice.

Community Legal Advice is the government's free, confidential legal aid service that provides telephone help and web advice on legal problems, including:

• Housing and eviction
• Money and debt
• Employment
• Education
• Advice on benefits, tax credits or welfare problems
• Finding a solicitor.

The service has already been in operation for three years and has helped more than 750,000 people by taking on cases, referring people to other legal aid providers or referring them to other helplines and information to enable them to solve their problem.

People on a low income or benefits can call 0845 345 4 345 or visit www.communitylegaladvice.org.uk.
