General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

This from the Citizens Advice Bureau would suggest you get 37.75 per week as you claim asylum and may have been given somewhere to live. Once you are given refugee status it stops after 28 days. You can then look for work " and should think about getting an NI number" To me that means you HAVE received monies WITHOUT an NI number. Maybe I am misinterpreting.
If you’ve claimed asylum and been given refugee status, Asylum Support and 'section 4' support will stop 28 days after the decision.

This means you’ll:

stop getting your cash allowance (usually £37.75 per week)

have to move house - if you’ve been given somewhere to live as an asylum seeker

Once you’ve got refugee status, you’ll get permission to work in the UK - in any profession and at any skill level. If you’re not ready or able to look for work and have very little or no income, you can apply for benefits instead.

You’ll also have to think about opening a bank account and getting a National Insurance number.
