Some people who have been living here since they were babies are now being turned down for settled status without appeal, even when married to Brits and who have British born children. Others who have been working non-stop for 20+ years, all above board, taxes paid, etc. This is appalling- and the stress and worry for those individuals, those with families, and the elderly, is beyond belief.
I am so worried about my elderly French friend- she arrived aged 55, married to a Brit who lived in council bungalow. He retired, they did get some help from social services. She is now widowed and gets part of his pension and support- and is VERY frail, crumbling bones and very disabled. She has not got a clue about Brexit or what needs to be done. She would have nowhere to go back to, far to disabled to move - and not a penny to her name either.
