             This is an appeal against a decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Khurram signed on 11 September 2023 dismissing an appeal against a decision dated 6 January 2023 refusing an application for entry clearance as the adult dependent child of a former member of the Brigade of Gurkhas.
             The Respondent's decision raised an issue in respect of identity in these terms:
             The Respondent decision-maker went on to consider the matter in the alternative: even if it were to be accepted that the Appellant was related as claimed, the Respondent was not satisfied that she qualified for entry clearance under the Immigration Rules, policy relating to the dependents of former Gurkha soldiers, on human rights grounds, or otherwise.
             However, none of this explains the apparent discrepancy as to date birth and indeed no clear explanation for such discrepancy has been forthcoming at any point.
             The 'notarial documents' referred to in the decision letter are documents issued through a ward office of the local municipality and purport to confirm that the person making the application for entry clearance is indeed the daughter of the Sponsor, and also, in a document headed 'Same Person Verification', that the holder of the passport in the name 'Nibandhana Rajbhandari' is the same person who appears in the 'Family Details maintained at The Brigade of Gurkhas' as 'Nibandamaya Sunwar'.
