Housing
If you receive a positive asylum decision, you will receive a letter telling you the date you have to leave the hotel by. Your local council’s housing options team may be able to help you.

Universal Credit
If you receive a positive decision you may be able to access financial support, often called benefits. You can find information here: www.gov.uk/universal-credit
If you need help applying, you can ask your caseworker, outreach worker, social prescriber or health navigator for support. Citizens Advice Bureau may also be able to offer help with benefits advice: www.citizensadvice.org.uk
