註釋The vast majority of those who seek asylum in the UK are rejected. Each year around two-thirds of asylum applications made to the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) at the Home Office are ultimately refused (including any appeal to the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal). Once the applicant's claim has been rejected and there is no outstanding appeal they are expected to leave the country within 21 days. Financial support and accommodation provided by the National Asylum Support Service (NASS) are cut off after 21 days for single adults and childless couples and they are prohibited from working. Families with children continue to receive financial support and accommodation. However, for a number of reasons -- and often through no fault of their own -- many do not leave but remain in the UK and at this point become destitute. This report examines what happens to rejected asylum seekers, why they do not leave the UK, and what can be done to avoid such destitution.
