Lost ILR Documentation
Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2016 7:29 pm
Hello,
I would greatly appreciate some advice,
I have been granted ILR in 1996, I had moved here at the age of 10 or 11 with my mother,
I received a Visa sticker in my passport and a stamped letter, I have lost both my old passport and the letter since then and now I'm having problems because of this.
I am trying to claim Jobseekers Allowance and they require proof of my ILR despite me having claimed and provided this documentation before as I first claimed benefits around the age of 16, now I am 31.
I do not have the £200 or so to get a biometric card, so I am desperate to find a cheap alternative of providing some kind of confirmation of my status, any sort of official letter would be enough.
Can anyone advise on what I could do?
Many thanks,
Tom
