Abandoned by a husband who left for work in South Korea, Yanu Maya Gurung told the courts she 'will not survive' without the money her parents send from Britain. The Upper Tribunal was unmoved, upholding a judge's 'harsh truth' that her legal bond with her father, former Gurkha Krishna Bahadur Gurung, lapsed into ordinary adult ties in 2007.

Upper Tribunal judges cited a Court of Appeal refusal on 'more compelling facts' than Yanu Maya Gurung's.

Just ten transfers reached Gurkha veteran's daughter Yanu Maya Gurung from her UK parents between 2020 and 2023.

Anonymity for Yanu Maya Gurung's children was lifted, as being children was 'not, without more, sufficient'.
