A Sri Lankan mother has won a reprieve in her battle to claim asylum after arguing she can't be deported as she is too depressed to fly.
The unnamed woman entered the UK in 2021 after leaving the south Asian country over fears she would be persecuted for her family's support of the Tamil Tigers, a militant group.
In her asylum claim, the mother of five said she suffers from severe depression and is 'not fit to fly' until she recovers from the disorder.
A judge initially rejected her claim saying they did not 'accept' that her mental health condition made her unable to go on a plane and return to Sri Lanka.
They suggested the woman could be accompanied by one of her four daughters and said her overall claim 'lacked credibility'.
