      The appellant appeals, with permission, against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal dismissing his appeal against the respondent's decision refusing his asylum and human rights claim.
      The appellant is a citizen of Iraq of Kurdish ethnicity from Chwarqurna in Sulaymaniyah Governate, born on 26 December 1994 . He arrived in the United Kingdom clandestinely on 27 February 2019 and claimed asylum the same day. His claim was refused on 16 July 2020.
      The respondent, in her letter refusing the appellant's claim, accepted that he was a low-ranking member of Asayish since he was able to provide a consistent and plausible account of his rank, training and duties, but did not accept his account of being asked to infiltrate the PUK and did not accept his claim to be suspected of being an informant by the PUK and KDP. The respondent did not accept that the appellant was at any risk on return to Iraq and concluded that he had the appropriate documentation to enable him to return there.
      Permission to appeal was initially refused in the First-tier Tribunal, but was granted upon a renewed application to the Upper Tribunal, with particular regard to the first ground. The respondent served a rule 24 response opposing the appeal.
      The matter then came before me for a hearing. Both parties made submissions.
