It's not benefits driving rise in asylum seekers

Coventry Telegraph

August 25, 2025

DESPITE what Reform want you to believe, asylum seekers do not come to the UK to receive benefits; £48 a week to feed and keep themselves clean, or £10 if their accommodation provides food.

The main driver for them coming here is to be reunited with family members.

And let's not forget, Germany, France and Spain receive most applications for asylum.

Since leaving the EU following Brexit we are no longer members of the Dublin Agreement, where refugees claimed asylum in the first EU country they arrived in.

It is this, not benefits driving the increase in numbers.
