<p>Asylum Seekers whose claims and, if appropriate, appeals have been refused are
no longer eligible for asylum support and are expected to return home. We offer assistance
to those who choose to do so by actively promoting the Home Office Voluntary Return
Service. The Home Office continues to provide accommodation and support to those who
are temporarily unable to leave the UK because of a practical or legal obstacle through
the Section 4 provisions, and to families with children under the age of 18.</p><p>Information
about asylum decisions, broken down by Country of Origin, is available in the published
statistics here:<br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-june-2018/how-many-people-do-we-grant-asylum-or-protection-to#asylum-applications-and-initial-decisions"

Recourse to Public Funds is the default condition for grants of leave to remain in
most categories, and is a separate issue to that of asylum seekers who are no longer
eligible for support. Leave to remain in the UK is normally granted with a condition
that prevents the person and their dependants from receiving welfare assistance from
public funds. However, where the person qualifies for leave to remain on grounds related
to their family or private life the condition is lifted if they or they or their dependent
children would otherwise be destitute.</p>
