the Director must, subject to paragraph (7), make a further determination in respect of the individual’s financial resources, and contribution (if any) payable in accordance with these Regulations.
(3) For the purposes of the further determination under paragraph (1) or (2), the period of calculation must be the period of one month following the date of the change of circumstances or such other period of one month as the Director considers appropriate.
(4) Where a further determination is made, the amount or value of every resource of a capital nature acquired since the date the original application was made must be ascertained as at the date of receipt of that resource.
(5) Any contribution out of capital in accordance with regulation 44(3) which becomes payable as a result of a further determination must be paid in respect of the cost of the civil legal services, including costs already incurred.
