In response to a recent Freedom of Information request, the Home Office provided figures which noted that, in 2017, 17 decisions were made on claims for asylum that had been submitted more than 15 years ago.<\/p>
In the majority of these cases, whilst the Home Office database that registered the original claim for asylum was updated with a new outcome in 2017, the Home Office had also made an earlier decision on the asylum claim. For example, several of the entries made in 2017 were to update records where it had been identified that an individual had voluntarily left the United Kingdom at an earlier date. In other instances, new decisions were made on cases where individuals had previously lost contact with the Home Office.<\/p>

All asylum claims lodged in the UK are carefully considered on their individual merits against a background of relevant case law and up to date country information.<\/p>
Appeals are allowed for a variety of reasons, often because of new evidence presented before the tribunal which was not available to the decision maker at the time.<\/p>
However, all allowed appeals are reviewed to understand where there are opportunities to further improve guidance and training.<\/p>"}

Home Office policy is not to provide asylum seekers with publicly funded English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses. They may access courses on a fee-paying basis. Asylum claimants awaiting a decision for over six months are eligible for a 50% contribution to the cost of ESOL courses through the Adult Education Budget. We also know that many ESOL providers use their discretion to set lower fees.<\/p>
Those granted refugee status by the Home Office and in receipt of certain work-related benefits are eligible for fully funded ESOL courses.<\/p>
We encourage asylum claimants (adults and dependants of an adult asylum seeker) to contact the Asylum Help helpline for free and independent advice (telephone: 0808 8000 630, https://www.gov.uk/asylum-helplines).<\/p>"}
