On 15 January 2020 i applied a U.K. direct airside transit visa to pass through the UK on my way or route to Antigua and Barbuda and my visa was rejected and give reason that i don't qualify for that visa because am from a country or territory entity specified in schedule 1 to the immigration (passenger transit visa) order 2014 (as amended). Such persons seeking to pass through the United kingdom en route to another country or territory without entering the United kingdom require a transit visa. So i really don't know where i went wrong because i have a invitation from a family friend from Antigua and Barbuda and his paying for my trip and i provided everything so at end rejected and given reason i don't understand and Ugandans a visa free to Antigua and Barbuda

You applied for a UK Direct Airside Transit Visa. Your application was denied for the reason stated in the refusal letter: you are a national of a country (Uganda) whose citizens cannot use a Direct Airside Transit Visa to transit the UK.

You should instead have applied for a UK Visitor in Transit Visa.

Although their names are similar, these two types of visas are not the same. The applications and requirements are different.
