I think you should proceed with appeal anyway. There is no general right of appeal in this category so your...

Re: ILR Under 10 Years Long Residence Category

Do you have to complete SECTION 12 ? Thanks for the response. Section 12 is not required as long as you are not relying/depending on someone for financial assistance. This could be applicable to someone paying from someone's bank account and other types of applicants which I have not gone through.
