Short answer
Asylum support appeal enquiries should identify the Home Office decision, date received, support type, accommodation or subsistence impact, appeal form status, documents already sent, hearing notice and any immediate welfare risk. Legal4U cannot decide eligibility or extend tribunal time limits.
