<p>Our priority is to consider claims as efficiently and fairly as possible. This
is best for claimants, but also reduces the number of people on asylum support, and
in turn, the burden on taxpayers. There may be circumstances which may delay the progression
of a case, for example waiting for evidence that is of importance in deciding a claim,
or a change in country situation requiring an update in country and policy information
notes leading to a pause in deciding cases.</p><p> </p><p>In these circumstances,
regular reviews are undertaken at appropriate intervals, dependant on the reason why
the claim cannot be progressed. As soon as the reason why the claim cannot be progressed
is lifted, consideration of the claim is continued.</p>
