Comments:Keep in mind that 'claim' has two significantly different usages, which can occur in the same procedural contexts. "We're here for a hearing on the merits of your asylum claim" would refer to the application (and exhibits, etc) itself; "Unfortunately, the fear that you claim..." or "Even if I were to believe your entire claim...", or "This is the type of claim that..." would refer more to what the respondent asserts, and therefore will likely need an elliptical expression or a reworking of the sentence in order to give an equivalent meaning. See 'asylum claim'.
