Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what routes to review are available to individuals who wish to challenge a decision on their application to the EU settlement scheme on the grounds of error if the decision was made on or after 5 October 2023.
Under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), the option of administrative review no longer applies where a decision was made on an EUSS application on or after 5 October 2023.
The right of appeal under the Immigration (Citizens’ Rights Appeals) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 will continue to meet our obligations under the Citizens’ Rights Agreements to provide a means of redress for relevant decisions under the EUSS.
The change aligns the EUSS with other UK immigration routes, none of which provide for both an administrative review and a right of appeal.
