If your application is refused

If we refuse your application we'll let you know the reasons why and the steps you can take to appeal if you are unhappy with our decision.

If we have given you a final decision and you are not satisfied with it, you can appeal to an independent tribunal (opens in new tab) within 28 days of receiving our refusal letter.
