answer text <p>Asylum seekers and their dependants receive a package of support from the taxpayer if they are destitute. The support provided usually consists of accommodation, with no charge for rent or utility costs, and a weekly cash allowance. The level of the cash allowance was reduced from 10 August 2015, but the Government remains satisfied that it is sufficient to meet the essential living needs of all supported families.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The consultation document on reforming support for failed asylum seekers published on 4 August referred to the estimated 15,000 failed asylum seekers and their dependants who were in receipt of support under section 95 or section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 at 31 March 2015. It set out proposals for transitional arrangements for these cases, under which that support would remain available, subject to the use of existing powers under which it can be discontinued. A summary of the consultation and the Government’s response to it will be published in due course.</p> more like this

answer text <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> more like this
