To claim more benefits when they reach Britain, human traffickers are coaching young adult asylum seekers to act like children.

It is well known to us in the British National Party that child migrants have access to an enormous range of benefits, which are not available to adults, and this greatly improves the chances of them staying in Britain.

The claim had emerged during a judicial review challenge brought by an asylum seeker from Afghanistan who claimed he was only 16 years old, but is thought to be nearer 20.

With his identity undisclosed due to a court order, he claimed he was 14 when he arrived in the UK in 2009.

After investigations social workers had found that his physical appearance was more akin to an adult and he had who been 'coached' to act younger than his real age.

Incredibly, assisted with legal help, he insisted his adult looks were actually down to his ethnicity and has now taken his case to the High Court and also said that he is entitled to full time education in Britain as he has learning difficulties!

Assessors from Ealing Borough Council interviewed the Afghani after his arrival in the UK and came to the conclusion that he was 'over 18'.
 
Their report by the council said: 'The social assessors were under the impression that he had been coached and that he was told not to have eye contact with the assessors and not to speak up or demand things from the department.'

His application for asylum was dismissed in May 2010 after the evidence submitted towards to the tribunal was deemed as 'self-serving and rehearsed'. He was due to be deported in November 2010 but as usual his removal from the country has been delayed as lawyers challenged both the age assessment and the Home Office's decision to remove him.

The court heard that youngsters living in the Middle East may develop quicker than those of European stock and Ealing Council’s age assessment overlooked the impact of his ethnicity on his appearance.

It was also claimed that the applicant’s answers in interviews were down to his learning difficulties, and his intelligence was said to be 'in the bottom one per cent of the population'.

The court was then shown a report from a psychologist, which stated: 'If he remains in the UK then his measured level of learning disabilities would entitle him to a full-time education until the age of 25.'

Mrs Justice Lang was shown an Afghan identity document provided to support his age and described it as 'mysterious'  as it cites his date of birth as 1374 in the Afghan calendar, translated as being 1995, she later reserved her decision on the case and will now give her ruling at an unspecified later date.
