The case concerned an unaccompanied minor who had received protection status in Greece. The Immigration Service ruled to reject his application as he had previously been granted protection in Greece. On appeal, the Refugee Board considered, according to its practice, whether the applicant would have access to housing, medical care, education and other services in Greece. It noted that the applicant had no network in Greece, whereas he has several family members in Denmark. Additionally, the Board paid attention to the vulnerability of the applicant as an unaccompanied minor. It also found that the background information available on Greece did not provide evidence that the applicant would be provided with adequate housing conditions for his particular situation. Therefore, the Refugee Board overruled the decision of the Immigration Service and referred the asylum application for further examination in Denmark.
