<p>Newly recognised refugees can continue to claim asylum support for a further 28
days after the grant of their status. There are no plans to extend this period.</p><p>The
grant of refugee status means refugees are eligible to apply for mainstream benefits.
If they would like assistance with the application an early appointment at a local
job centre is arranged for them. This process is designed to ensure that refugees
receive the first payment of any benefit they are entitled to before the 28 days period
expires, either by full payment of the benefit or through an advance payment.</p>
