£49.18 is the standard weekly allowance for asylum seekers.
It's reduced to £9.95 if meals are included with accommodation.
You need a national insurance number to claim benefits or work. Asylum seekers do not have one.
No free phone (or Ipads). Occasionally, sims, or recycled phones are provided by charities.
Just in case anyone is interested in the facts.

Rumours aren’t facts.
🏠 No one in Liverpool is being evicted to make way for asylum housing. Serco has confirmed this.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
We’re delivering the biggest boost to social and affordable homes in a generation through a new £39b programme.
At least 60% will be for social rent.
This investment and reform will provide secure homes for hundreds of thousands of families across the country.

Building 1.5 million homes takes investment, skills & a government ready to roll up its sleeves.
That's why I co-chaired the Construction Skills Mission Board attended by CEOs from across sector. Working with industry we'll recruit thousands more workers into construction jobs.
At LHC Procurement Group, we believe that your socio-economic status should not determine a disproportionate range of inequalities to your life.
