Conclusion (the committee's words)
Some EU citizens living in the UK are particularly vulnerable to losing their rights, such as older adults, those with now defunct EEA permanent residency, and those unfamiliar with digital technology. These vulnerabilities have, in many cases, been exacerbated by the lack of in-person support and services during the pandemic. How many of these individuals missed the deadline, and the Government’s response to their circumstances, will be key indicators of the Settlement Scheme’s success.
