surly his payslips, assuming he was not paid cash in had if he'd been paying taxes, P45 / P60, bank statements etc etc are enough to prove that he'd been legally living in the UK...
They prove that he has been living and working in the UK, but not that he was doing so legally. Historically, loads of illegal immigrants have held down jobs for years. Having banks and employers checking people's immigration status before dealing with them is a recent innovation

@hoefla, isn't the NHS residence based? I thought anyone living in the UK are entitled to free primary and secondary treatments?
I guess the issue is the word 'lawful' or 'official status', if you haven't got any official paper then you could be refused treatment or have to pay? What triggered my original post was actually this man who is refused free NHS treatment for his cancer.
I just don't understand how the Home Office could find no traces of him and surly his payslips, assuming he was not paid cash in had if he'd been paying taxes, P45 / P60, bank statements etc etc are enough to prove that he'd been legally living in the UK...
