            The appellants are nationals of India. The first appellant is the mother of the second appellant who was born in October 2006. On 5 February 2021 they applied for family permits as extended family members of Mr Tajinder Singh Heer under Regulation 8(2) of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016 ("the 2016 Regulations"). Mr Heer is the brother-in-law of the first appellant. He is married to the first appellant's sister.

            The applications made by the appellants were refused for reasons set out in decisions dated 9 February 2021 and 12 February 2021. The respondent noted the claim made by the appellants and concluded, inter alia , that the appellants had failed to provide evidence to show that they are dependent upon Mr Heer. The respondent said there was limited evidence in the form of money transfer remittance receipts and the evidence in isolation does not establish that the appellants are financially dependent on their sponsor.

            The appellants' appeal against that decision was dismissed by First-tier Tribunal Judge Row for reasons set out in a decision promulgated on 9 March 2022.

            Permission to appeal was granted by First-tier Tribunal Judge Grimes on 11 May 2022.

            The respondent filed a rule 24 response dated 10 June 2002 in which she said that the appeal is opposed and that in summary, the judge reached a decision that was open to him. The respondent also indicated that a copy of the first appellant's husband's death certificate does not appear to be in any of the papers available to the respondent.
