We publish statistics on cases where the claimant’s age has been disputed and a formal age assessment has been carried out. The table below shows the number of cases in each of the last 3 years. <table><tbody><tr><td colspan="2">Asylum Claims by Year with a disputed age</td></tr><tr><td>Year of Claim</td><td>Totals</td></tr><tr><td>2012</td><td>337</td></tr><tr><td>2013</td><td>323</td></tr><tr><td>2014</td><td>318</td></tr></tbody></table> Data is taken from published statistics https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-july-to-september-2015/asylumWhilst we do hold information on the results of these assessments and whether they were found to be under the age of 18 the way corresponding data is held means that to obtain the data could only be achieved at disproportionate cost by examination of individual case files.
