Refugees and migrants with certain statuses in the UK will have access to public funds which would include benefits such as Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment, Child Benefit. This session will provide a run through of the different benefits that refugees and migrants could have access to and provide practical tips and guidance on how to support them to claim Universal Credit, PIP and Child Benefit.

Migrants Organise is a registered charity which provides a platform for refugees and migrants to organise for power, dignity and justice to enable meaningful inclusion and integration. We combine advice and support for individuals affected by the hostile environment immigration policies with community organising, advocacy, research and campaigning to help dismantle structural racism.

Under our Community Programme we provide ongoing advice and casework support on immigration and welfare for migrants, asylum seekers and refugees in London
