Kurdish refugee 'wrongly barred' from using free train travel
Three months ago, Raman was awarded refugee status, which gives him the right to remain in the UK.Raman's five-year-old daughter is still in Iran, and he said he saw the job as the first step towards a "normal life" where he has the means to apply for her to join him in Wales.
To be eligible, people need a biometric British residence permit , marking them as a refugee, have a letter from the Home Office, or hold other proof of being a refugee entitled to humanitarian protection.Raman initially travelled using his BRP, but last Thursday he said he was stopped at Swansea station and asked to bring in Home Office documentation the following day.
"It is not easy to be an asylum seeker. They are really fragile because they've been through too many things." "How many people have lost opportunities to go to various important interviews, benefits interviews or job interviews because they couldn't access transport?" she said.
