<p>We have made no specific assessment for newly recognised refugees. Provided the
eligibility criteria for Universal Credit is met, we will always offer an advance
payment to a refugee when making a new claim. DWP staff have access to information
on a range of services and support available in their local area for vulnerable claimants
including refugees. This includes Universal Support which provides help with using
online services and budgeting advice. We also have access to a range of translation
services to assist should the claimant need support to overcome any language barriers.</p>
