A Windrush child who has lived in West Yorkshire for more than 50 years said he continues to "live in limbo" as he waits to hear if his claim for compensation from the government will be approved.

Lorenzo Hoyte, 63, who has had to live in the shadows for fear of being deported, said his life remains on hold despite finally being granted a UK passport last September.

He submitted a claim for compensation to the Home Office in April for hurt feelings, anxiety, depression, not being able to leave the country and loss of earnings.

Mr Hoyte said: "Basically, everything you have missed out on being an illegal immigrant.

"We are in limbo and we can't fully move on because we don't know if they are going to offer us £20, £2,000 or £200,000.

"A lot of Windrush people who have put in claims have died while waiting."
