ILR and medical exeemption using KOLL form

[zainabk1982]

Dear Expert, hope you are doing well !
I need accurate advice on my below question:

Problem and my doubt on Medical exemption for ILR: My son is 19 years old and having profound deafness and gone through cochlear implant when he was 4 years of old but after that and till now he could not pass the GCSE english. I am planning to apply his ILR in dec26 so I want to be sure to avoid ILR rejection so queries are :
My son can not pass B1 english test and Life in the UK test so question is :
1. ILR application submission using solicitor who can gather all documents and information from me is the best option to avoid the rejection ?
2. To Save Money can I apply his ILR having the documents a) KOLL signed from MGCP b) EHCP letter from SEN c) School letter recommendation why could not pass the GCSE english due to speech and learning barrier.

Please advise which option I should follow.

Best Regards
-zainab

Solicitors cannot impact the outcome of an application at all as their services are advisory and in my view, their services are often not a good use of your money. You do not need a solicitor to apply for ILR. Also note that GCSE level English is NOT acceptable for the purpose of satisfying the immigration requirement at all. ILR requires passing an approved Secure English language Test (SELT) at B1.

To apply for a medical exemption, you must get a qualified professional to fill the UKVI exemption form and include it with other medically relevant documents, to the visa application.

A qualified medical professional should complete this form on behalf of applicants applying for settlement or naturalisation as a British citizen. If you already have a report or letter from a medical professional describing your condition, please include it with the form.
