Could someone tell what the case worker wanted to ask

Did you submit any of your foreign passports with the passport applications?

This is puzzling. Did you send this child's passport with the application? I assume child was born abroad?

Yes he was born in Pakistan. I did submit the old passport on which he entered the UK which is expired and the new one as well.

Then call and ask to speak to a senior case worker, and explain your case.

How I can speak with the senior case worker. How I can contact them. ? Any phone numbers to contact . I sent the documents and application to Corby Center .

You can call the passport advice line.

I personally think that a letter explaining that you apply from the UK because you live here should do it.
From understanding the child is registered citizen and was present in the UK when he got registered and still live in the UK. So I think it should be straight forward thing.

@sajnan did you get your son passport?

I got the same question for my daughter's application and wondering what to send as explanation
