EU citizens left in limbo as UK revokes post-Brexit residency status
Original: ‘We’ve done everything by the book’: EU citizens left in limbo after UK government strips post-Brexit residency status h
EU citizens living in the UK report having their settled status withdrawn under the post-Brexit EU Settlement Scheme, despite following all the rules. Those affected describe being unable to work, claim benefits or travel while appealing the decisions. The Home Office says statuses can be cancelled for absences or fraud, but applicants insist they complied fully. Critics call the system's automated removals a breach of the Withdrawal Agreement's protections.
Why now: Reports of lawful residents losing their status are renewing concerns about the fairness of the UK's post-Brexit immigration system
