^"Thousands of EU nationals could face problems accessing essential services because the government is refusing to issue physical proof of their right to live in the UK.
The settlement scheme grants EU citizens the right to remain in the UK after Brexit. Unlike other foreign nationals, they are not provided with a biometric residency permit proving their status^."

I wrote to my MP some time ago about this issue. So far no reply.

It is just awful - and 1000x more for older ones who have no access to Internet or the latest I-phone. And as you say, even if they can get support to apply, and get through- they have zilch, zero, rien, nichts, nada - to prove it. Disgusting.
