compassionate grounds

[NIZAM]

Hi,

I wonder if someone can offer some advice. My Aunt came to visit me and my family in January last year. She was given a 6 months visa. Once she arrived she became ill and we applied to for an extension to her visa to enable us to get her private medical treatment. The Home office refused the request on the grounds that we could not provide details of the cost and duration for the treatment. We appealed and this too was turned down. The reason we could not provide details for her treatment was that we had to see a number of specialists as she has a mental illness. It is a difficult illness to diagnose let alone provide detail costings. Since the refusal of the appeal,we have now had a report from a phsychiatrist who says she is suffering from a form of dementia. She is in no state to care for her self and her condition will get progressively worse.
My Aunt has no other close relatives outside UK who can care for her. All her close family is in the Uk and we would like her to remain here so we can take of her. Should we make a fresh application for leave to remain on pemanently on compassionate grounds or should we apply again for extension on medical grounds?
