Move On Service
Just over half of asylum seekers are granted refugee status. However, they then are given just 28 days to leave asylum accommodation and find housing, employment and means to support themselves.
During this time, homelessness becomes a real possibility. Our Move On Team provides crucial support in this period.
How we can help:
- Checking documentation and ensuring clients know their rights.
- Help applying for National Insurance numbers.
- Help applying for Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Sure Start Maternity Grant, Child Benefit and back-dated money.
- Help applying for Integration Loans.
- Help applying for UC Advance Payments.
- Help applying to Discretionary Assistance Fund (Emergency and Individual Assistance Payments).
- Support applying for accommodation.
- Providing communication support between local housing team and clients.
- Help with access to public services, local support networks, voluntary sector and community-based organisations.
