Appeal an asylum support decision
Apply to the tribunal
Download and fill in a ‘notice of appeal’ form. You must include:
- why you’re appealing (your ‘grounds of appeal’)
- a copy of the decision you’re appealing against
- any documents that help support your appeal
- why your appeal is late (if it is)
- whether you’d like a ‘paper’ or ‘oral’ hearing
Paper hearings are based on documents only. If a judge decides that an oral hearing is required, it may be held by phone, video link or in person.
If a judge decides you have to go to an oral hearing in person, you’ll need to travel to London. The Home Office will pay for you to get there (usually by train). You’ll get free accommodation the night before if you have far to travel.
Send the form
Post, email or fax the notice of appeal form to HM Courts and Tribunals Service. The contact details are on the form.
Call the helpline if you have any questions about completing the form. The helpline cannot give you legal advice.
