In the period up to 31 May 2019, the last point at which data was assured, 368 applications were received for administrative review of decisions made on applications under the EU Settlement Scheme. Of these:<\/p>

\u2022 30 administrative review applications were rejected, e.g. because no EU Settlement Scheme application had been received;<\/p>

\u2022 in all the remaining 253 cases, the applicant was challenging a grant of pre-settled status rather than settled status, of which:<\/p>

o 22 of these grants of pre-settled status were upheld following the administrative review; and
o 231 of these grants of pre-settled status were overturned, and the applicant was instead granted settled status following administrative review.
