answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2017 answer text <p>For those granted leave to remain as a result of a successful asylum claim, a joint fast track NINo process operates between the Home Office (HO) and Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Adult NINo Allocation. This system has been in place since 2005 and means that an application for a NINo is made by the HO on behalf of the individual.</p><p>We have introduced a new process for those refugees who come to the UK via either the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Programme or the Gateway Protection Programme. Our joint working with the HO enables DWP Adult NINo Allocation to utilise the refugee’s identity and immigration status details provided by the HO immediately before the refugee arrives in the UK; enabling a NINo to be allocated and printed on their Biometric Residence cards (BRP) as soon as the individual enters the UK, helping to join up services between HO, DWP and Local Authorities.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 04/12/2017 17:40:25 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2017 answer text <p>People granted refugee status have the same entitlement to benefit as UK citizens. We are working closely with the Home Office to ensure that newly granted refugees are aware of this and receive support to make a claim to benefit where needed.</p><p> </p><p>While bank accounts do remain DWP’s preferred method of payment, it is recognised that some customers including refugees, may have difficulty accessing or opening an account before their first payment of benefit is due. In such cases DWP can make payments via alternative methods such as Post Office card accounts, Simple Payments or into a third party account. These payment methods are available to customers without a permanent address.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 04/12/2017 16:36:28 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
