Those granted refugee status or humanitarian protection, including those resettled
under our three resettlement schemes, are entitled to work without restriction and
have full access to the mainstream benefits system on the same terms as British citizens
and other permanent residents in the UK. Asylum seekers are only permitted to work
in the UK if their asylum claim has been outstanding for more than 12 months, providing
the delay is not of their making. Employment is restricted to jobs on the shortage
occupations list. We have no plans to reduce the time asylum seekers have to wait
to take up employment.
