answer text <p>Under the specified provision, an applicant is eligible for Section 4 support if they are unable to leave the UK by reason of a physical impediment, or other medical reason. When an applicant submits medical evidence in this regard, caseworkers may consider whether to refer the case to the Asylum Support Medical Adviser (ASMA) regarding the impact of the applicant’s medical condition on his ability to undertake international travel. All ASMA advisors are registered with the General Medical Council (GMC), and the Home Office is reviewing its relationship with the ASMA advisors, including the oversight of their operations.</p> more like this
