Deplorable actions of a chaotic Home Office | Letters

Jill Napier was intimidated by the letter she was mistakenly sent on settled status, and Himat Lakhani spells out the government incompetence that he and his clients are having to deal with

I received the very intimidating EU settlement letter on Saturday (Home Office sends letters warning of immigration status to UK citizens, 17 May). I became a French national 10 years ago; I've been married for 32 years to someone born in France but who has spent all his life in England. I was born in Norwich to parents and forebears who never left Norfolk. I've held a British passport for over 50 years and have worked for 30 years in English education. Surely, various government departments must have plenty of evidence about me by now?

I now know that I am not vulnerable but have been targeted as an EU scrounger because of my earned state pension. In spite of their valued contributions to British life, there will be a lot of other people who are actually at risk.
