Effect of Income of Asylum Support - Wednesday 24th of July - 10am-12:30pm 

Do you help asylum seekers apply for section 4 and Section 95 support? Would you like to better understand how income effects asylum support?

ASAP’s next online training looks at the effect that income has on asylum support, and crucially the home office’s approach to assessing destitution in these cases. Please note that the HO has little guidance on how they calculate destitution when a person has an income. Therefore, what is covered in this training is based on ASAP’s interpretation of what we think should happen, and real-life case examples.

This session will cover:

This training is for those who have a good knowledge of the asylum support system, and assist in making asylum support applications. This training will not be appropriate for those who are new to giving advice on asylum support.
