A father-of-four who was forced to beg on Bradford's streets when he became caught up in the Windrush scandal and lost his job is still struggling to make ends meet - weeks after the Government vowed to help those who had been affected.

Kenny Williams, of Curlew Street, on the Canterbury estate, Little Horton, was nine-years-old when he arrived in London as part of the Windrush generation who emigrated from Commonwealth countries between 1948 and 1971.

The 58-year-old was classed as a British citizen, but he has been out of work since 2007 when he left his job because he did not have a passport, despite being granted leave to remain in the country for as long as possible.

However, the Home Office failed to keep a record of who arrived and made Mr Williams' task of proving he was able to work in the UK impossible.

The Government apologised to all of those put in this situation back in April, but Mr Williams, who had to beg on Bradford’s streets for money and rely on handouts from his brother and sister, says his situation has not improved.

He said: "I haven't found a job yet and it is still a frustrating time.

"I need to be working.

"It's bad if you're not working because you can't pay the bills.

"It's been a few weeks and I thought all of this would be over by now, but it's not.

"My family is still helping me, but I don't know how long this is going to go on for.

"It can't go on until next year.

"I hope it doesn't because I'm still under pressure."

Mr Williams said the whole experience feeling "worse than a dog" and like a stranger in his own country."

Val Rowlands, an immigration advisor at Girlington Advice and Training Centre, has supported Mr Williams throughout the ordeal and helped him claim money back he was owed from his benefits.

She said: "People think it has died down but the problems are still there.

"One of the biggest problems is the Government is still in the process of designing their compensation scheme and people are unable to find work.

"They are still struggling with huge debts and difficulties, but there is no compensation scheme.

"Kenny is still struggling, just like a lot of the Windrush Generation are in their daily lives.

"We have managed to sort out the money he was owed in Jobseeker's Allowance, but that hasn't solved the problems he has had with working when he was perfectly entitled to."

The Telegraph & Argus has asked the Home Office for a comment.
