Medical Grounds Application
About Medical Grounds Application
Medical grounds applications ask the Home Office to grant leave because removal would expose you to a serious decline in health or to inhuman or degrading treatment, given the lack of effective treatment in your country of origin. These are difficult cases with a high evidential bar, requiring detailed medical and country evidence about the condition, prognosis, and realistic access to treatment abroad. RakLAW works closely with treating clinicians and medical experts to put the strongest case forward.
Who this is for
- People with serious physical or mental health conditions
- Those whose treatment would not be available abroad

- Refused applicants with new or worsening medical evidence
