'When you get status the struggle doesn’t end': what it's like to be a new refugee in the UK

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, August 30, 2023

Up to 77% of applications have been granted refugee status since 2021, a substantial increase from the pre-pandemic years, when only one-third of applications received a positive decision.

Key Points: 
  • Up to 77% of applications have been granted refugee status since 2021, a substantial increase from the pre-pandemic years, when only one-third of applications received a positive decision.
  • But approval of an asylum application is not an instant guarantee of a safe and secure life in the UK.
  • On the contrary, new refugees are immediately thrust into another period of limbo that puts them at risk of poverty and homelessness.
  • When awarded refugee status, they must leave their accommodation and are cut off from government support.

The ‘destitution gap’

    • Their comments reveal how this 28-day period often results in homelessness, labour exploitation and financial destitution.
    • During this time, new refugees frequently turn to food banks and charities, or take on exploitative jobs.
    • New refugees are not allowed to work while awaiting a decision, and therefore are unable to save money, effectively meaning many cannot support themselves straight away.
    • Many new refugees become homeless, and are moved into hostels, bed and breakfast accommodation or end up on the street.
    • I need to leave this property, I need to apply for universal credit, I need to leave everything.
