<p>Of the ARAP applications submitted on or before 20 October 2021, 349 are pending
a decision. The MOD has prioritised finding ARAP applications from those we know to
be eligible having worked for, or alongside the UK forces in support of our mission
in Afghanistan.</p><p> </p><p>Of those cases that pre-date Op PITTING, in the past
two weeks, we have reduced these from 131 cases to just 80 at the time of writing.
These 80 cases are now particularly complex and fall broadly into three categories:
cases that are likely ineligible, cases delayed as a consequence of misconduct, and
cases whereby applicants are already safely in a third country.</p><p> </p><p>Overall,
we have received more than 95,000 unique applications to the scheme, and have approximately
2,000 pending a decision – a figure which includes new applications we are still receiving.
We are diligently combing through our records, searching for every eligible applicant
and will leave no stone unturned.</p>
