<p>There is no reason why any asylum seekers should be left without support on reaching
the age of 18. Unaccompanied asylum seeking children are looked after by local authorities
and most will continue to be supported in this way after the age of 18 under leaving
care legislation while they remain in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Any asylum seeker that
does not have an entitlement to leaving care support would be eligible to support
from the Home Office under the provisions of section 95 of the Immigration and Asylum
Act 1999 if they were destitute.</p><p> </p>
