12.—(1) Where–
(a)it appears that the circumstances upon which the assessment officer has assessed the disposable income or disposable capital of the person concerned have altered so that–
(i)his disposable income may have increased by an amount greater than £750 or decreased by an amount greater than £300; or
(ii)his disposable capital may have increased by an amount greater than £750;
or
(b)new information which is relevant to the assessment has come to light;
the assessment officer shall re-assess that person’s disposable income or disposable capital and maximum contribution, as the case may be, unless it appears to him to be unlikely that any significant change in that person’s liability to make a contribution will result from such a re-assessment.
(2) For the purpose of making a re-assessment under paragraph (1), the amount and value of every resource of a capital nature acquired since the date of the legal aid application shall be ascertained as at the date of receipt of that resource.
