Post-Brexit rules leave British woman with Alzheimer’s facing removal from Sweden

Bed-bound Kathleen Poole, 74, who lives in a dementia care home, has been unable to complete required paperwork

A 74-year-old British woman with severe Alzheimer's has been threatened with deportation from Sweden over Brexit paperwork she was unable to complete because of her incapacitation.

Kathleen Poole lies bedridden in a dementia care home with no prospect of moving. Her family have told the Guardian that she is facing forced removal to the UK because she has not got an up-to-date passport and financial statements required under the new post-Brexit rules applying to British people in the EU.
