What this measures

The number of people (main applicants and their dependants) whose asylum claim was awaiting an initial decision at the end of the quarter, split by how long the claim had been waiting. This is a stock, not a flow.

How long decided claims took, claims awaiting an appeal, or the number of cases (main applicants only).
