<p>If a British citizen mistakenly applies to the EU Settlement Scheme, the Home Office
will void their application as they have a right of abode in the UK. Status under
the scheme would only be granted in circumstances where, based on the information
and evidence submitted in the application, it was not clear that the applicant was
a British citizen.</p><p>The requested data on the number of British citizens wrongly
assigned pre-settled status is not available. Where pre-settled status is granted
to a British citizen, it has no legal effect.</p><p>The Home Office strives to make
the correct decision for applicants first time in every case.</p>
