There is support available online, by email and telephone from our assisted digital provider.</p><p> </p><p>Where a person eligible for leave under the scheme has reasonable grounds for missing the application deadline, they will be given a further opportunity to apply. Our compassionate and flexible approach will ensure individuals who miss the deadline through no fault of their own can still obtain lawful status in the UK. We will publish clear guidance for caseworkers in due course to ensure consistency of approach.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 30/06/2020 15:03:28 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
