As of 22 March 2023, there are 63 ARAP-eligible individuals currently accommodated by the British High Commission (BHC) in Islamabad who have been there for longer than one year. The longest time that an ARAP-eligible individual has spent in BHC accommodation in Islamabad is 506 days as of 22 March 2023.<\/p>
<\/p>
Relocating those eligible under ARAP to the UK as quickly as possible remains a Government priority, but we must carry out necessary checks which can sometimes take a significant amount of time. Furthermore, appropriate preparations in the UK must be made to accommodate and support incoming people with diverse needs.<\/p>
<\/p>
As people await relocation to the UK, we rightly continue to provide accommodation and welfare support in third countries.<\/p>

There have been 31 claims to the Ex-Gratia Medical Payments Scheme in the last 10 years that have been either accepted or are pending. We are working on ways to resolve those pending claims as swiftly as possible.<\/p>
<\/p>
The 31 claims are broken down as follows:<\/p>
· There are 20 former interpreters who have an outstanding claim, or who have appealed the original decision not to award them a payment under the Ex-Gratia Medical Payments Scheme. Some of the outstanding claims relate to injuries sustained more than ten years ago.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
· Of the 20 former interpreters who have an outstanding claim, three were submitted within the last six months. The remaining 17 are pending more than 12 months.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
· Eleven former interpreters who worked directly for HMG in Afghanistan and now reside in the UK have made claims within the last 10 years, which have been settled. Our records show that, of those settled cases, eight claims were made in 2018, one made in 2019 and two made in 2020.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
There have been no claims for other locally employed civilians during the last 10 years.<\/p>"}
