A New Zealand woman, who has lived in the UK since 1967, is fearing for her future after being refused work because of her migrant status.
Carol Babbage, 62, who lives in Liskeard, arrived in the UK aged 12 with her New Zealand mother and British stepfather and has "indefinite leave" to remain in the UK.
She served in the British Army, but says she has now been refused a cleaning job in Plymouth after being told by the firm she could not get the work because of her migrant status.
Ms Babbage said her whole family has been affected by what's happened.
"It's impacted me to the core, right deep. I have a family and they're all over the place with this. It's utter disbelief for them. They just can't believe today, where they are and where I am, that this is happening."
The Home Office said it was "considering" options available to her.
