Deferred
Paragraph: 197
Windrush Compensation Scheme unfairly excludes certain immigration applications, penalising individuals for good faith efforts.
Conclusion
The Windrush Lessons Learned Review demonstrates the difficulties the Windrush generation faced when trying to navigate the immigration system. The exclusion of some immigration applications from the Windrush Compensation Scheme unfairly penalises individuals who have incurred considerable losses through making immigration applications in good faith to try and resolve the difficulty they faced with demonstrating their lawful status.
