New asylum ‘crisis’ as Home Office errors add to avalanche of appeals
The Home Office’s unsuccessful scramble to meet Rishi Sunak’s pledge to clear an asylum backlog is leading to a new “crisis” with a rapidly expanding mountain of appeals threatening to clog up the tribunal system, i has learnt. Specialist lawyers have said there will not be enough of them to handle the extra cases – many caused by government mistakes, so claimants will be forced to represent themselves even if they are unable to speak English. Taxpayers also face having to pick up the bill, as the Home Office houses and financially supports the thousands of extra asylum seekers who are waiting for appeals. An insider at the department told i that the appeals were being fuelled by the Home Office making more “unsafe” asylum decisions as it rushed to fulfil the PM’s promise. The caseworker pointed to changes made to procedures in an effort to clear a backlog of more than 90,000 old asylum cases by the end of last year. They included shorter interviews and “concise” refusal letters, introduced to speed up processing. “Changes were implemented from July onwards so we could clear the backlog, but the legal risk was high,” the Home Office insider told i. “Quite literally, the backlog has been moved from asylum decisions to appeals.” The latest available figures on asylum appeals show they had already more than doubled by September, with a 111 per cent rise compared to the previous year. They show that there were 3,866 new asylum appeals between July and September and that they made up 38 per cent of all immigration appeals compared to just 19 per cent a year earlier.
