I recently got ILR approved on 10-Apr-2015 at Croydon PEO office. My BRP card shows expiry date of 31-Dec-2024 which is less than 10 years.

Is anyone else experiencing similar problem? Is this a change in process?

Thanks

I was just wondering (a) if the strange expiry date is just for me or if there is anyone else who has same issue and
(b) is this a new process followed by HomeOffice or is it an error.

I have email them on BRP error contact and will keep you updated on their response.

Thank you for your email regarding a possible error with the expiry date on your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).

The issue has now been investigated and the 31 December 2024 validity date is due to a requirement by the EU to restrict BRPs which do not incorporate the next generation of encryption technology.

As the UK intends to introduce the new technology during 2016 the date restriction affects only BRPs issued to adults with settled status (ILR/NTL).

Any BRP rightfully held on 01 July 2024 that is restricted will be replaced free of charge, with the balance of the 10 year period initially expected being issued on a new BRP.

This means that anyone who has paid a fee in expectation of receiving ten year evidence of settled status will still do so, but it will be spread over two BRPs.

The date restriction does not change the entitlements of the rightful holder to work, access services/benefits or travel. The rightful holder still has settled status.

I hope this information answers your queries.

and

"anyone who has paid a fee in expectation of receiving ten year evidence of settled status will still do so, but it will be spread over two BRPs." ?

Settlement should be indefinite, forever (unless taken away but that's another animal). ILR should not just be ten year "evidence" of settled status.
Basically they are saying that if you replace your permit in 2022, they will not issue you another brp with another 10 years - just 2 more years till you get 10 years ... What happens afterwards?

I would like to have exactly the same letter from UKBA for my personal records. Do you remember if you contacted them by email or by post to Bristol address provided on the letter please?

Thank you.
