The real story - facts and figures about asylum seekers and refugees in the UK Asylum seekers and refugees do not get large handouts from the state Asylum seekers and refugees are law-abiding citizens Refugees make a huge contribution to the UK Asylum seekers are looking for a place of safety Britain's asylum system is very tough Poor countries – not the UK – look after most of the world's refugees

Asylum seekers and refugees do not get large handouts from the state Asylum seekers are not allowed to work unless they have waited over 12 months for an initial decision on their case. They are forced to rely on state support, which is set at just 70% of income support. Asylum seekers want to work and support themselves. Many do voluntary work while their asylum application is being processed. Asylum seekers do not come to the UK to claim benefits. In fact, most know very little about the UK asylum or benefits systems before they arrive. (Source: Home Office, Understanding the decision-making of asylum seekers, July 2002) Asylum seekers do not jump the queue for council housing and they cannot choose where they live. The accommodation allocated to them is not paid for by the local council. It is nearly always ‘hard to let’ properties, which other people do not want to live in. Asylum seekers do not get special perks such as mobile phones and help to buy cars. They are also denied access to many of the benefits others rely upon, such as disability living allowance. Most asylum seekers are living in poverty and experience poor health and hunger. (Source: Refugee Council and Oxfam, Poverty and asylum in the UK,
