A man who was born and raised in the UK was refused a passport for three years, leaving him unable to work or travel abroad, because the Home Office didn't believe he was British.
Londoner Dominic Akers-Paul - who was a 15 when his passport application was rejected - said he couldn't take on a part-time job, start an apprenticeship, go on school trips abroad or attend his grandma's funeral in Ghana because of the blunder.
Dominic, who lives in Farringdon, is now 28-years-old but is still trying to find a way to fight his Windrush compensation case after the Home Office error. The engineer says he feels his life would have been different if the traumatic mistake did not occur.
