Operation PITTING cases in community (refugees from Kabul) – escalating cases for caseworking by the Home Office

The Home Office have requested any enquires in relation to families who were evacuated from Kabul to the UK as part of Operation PITTING (August 2021) who are not currently living in Home Office bridging hotel accommodation or in properties are facilitated through the Local Authority (LA) resettlement programme.

This largely applies to families who left quarantine or bridging accommodation to live independently or stay with friends or relatives. Many of these families were granted 6 months Limited Leave to Enter in August so will be approaching the expiry date of their current status.

If local voluntary organisations, are aware of Afghans who were evacuated and haven’t had an application raised yet, can they please ask the family/individual to contact the helpline on 02475 389 980.  The helpline will capture their contact details and pass them to casework, who will get in touch to start the application.
