<p>Following the service of an asylum decision, an individual continues to be an asylum
seeker for the purpose of asylum support until the end of the relevant prescribed
period, also known as the ‘grace period’ or ‘move on period’. This period is 28 calendar
days from when an individual is notified of a decision to accept their asylum claim
and grant them leave. There are no current plans to extend this period (of 28 days).</p><p>
</p><p>Individuals should make plans to move on from asylum support as soon as they
are served their asylum decision. We offer support to all individuals through Migrant
Help or their partner organisation in doing this. This includes providing advice on
accessing the labour market, on applying for Universal Credit and signposting to local
authorities for assistance with housing.</p>
