             The appellant is a male citizen of Iraq who was born on 17 July 1986. He appealed to the First-tier Tribunal against a decision of the Secretary of State dated 30 October 2020 refusing his further submissions in support of a claim for international protection. The First-tier Tribunal, in a decision 10 January 2021, dismissed his appeal. The appellant now appeals, with permission, to the Upper Tribunal.
             At the initial hearing, Ms Young, who appeared for the Secretary of State, told me that the respondent considers that Ground 2 is made out and that the First-tier Tribunal erred in law such that its decision falls to be set aside.
             At [32-33], the judge wrote:
There is no evidence before me that reaches the lower standard that the Appellant has any need to internally relocate in Iraq, or any need for protection. I need not consider how SMO applies to internal relocation for him.
             It is evident that the judge has failed to apply SMO, KSP and IM (Article 15(c); identity documents) Iraq CG [2019] UKUT 400 , which was valid country guidance at the time of the hearing before the First-tier Tribunal. Irrespective of any need to exercise internal flight, the judge has failed to address how the appellant, who will be returned to Baghdad, will get to his home area of Diyala without a CSID or INID.
