ARAP eligibility decisions are made in accordance with our published ARAP policy, which is set out in the Immigration Rules. Checks and balances are in place to mitigate the risk of any errors.

Across more than 95,000 unique ARAP applications and many more duplications, a very small number of cases received eligibility decisions which have been incorrect and needed to be revoked.
