<p>The Department for Work and Pensions is working in partnership with the Home Office
to improve processes for refugees claiming benefits. In order to achieve this aim
we have set up the Post Grant Appointment Scheme (PGAS).</p><p> </p><p>The scheme
involves contacting persons at the point when they are granted refugee status to see
if they wish to apply for benefits and require assistance to do so. If they say they
do, an appointment at a local DWP office is arranged for them.</p>
