A 67-year-old blind Nigerian woman who has resided in the United Kingdom for 26 years has been advised by the Home Office that she can travel to India for necessary medical treatment. The individual, identified as Comfort, arrived in the UK in 2000 and lost her sight due to acute glaucoma shortly after her arrival.
The directive was issued after her application for indefinite leave to remain was denied under the administration's updated settlement guidelines. She has never previously visited India.
Further details are expected to emerge as this developing story continues.
