flag UK to pay families up to £40K to leave within 7 days if their asylum is rejected, starting June.

flag The UK is launching a pilot program offering up to £40,000 to families with rejected asylum claims who agree to leave within seven days, aiming to reduce reliance on costly asylum hotels and speed up departures. flag The initiative, inspired by Denmark’s model, could save £20 million annually and is part of broader reforms including conditional support, temporary refugee status with 30-month reviews, and work rights for asylum seekers who wait over a year. flag Starting in June, those who break the law, work illegally, or can support themselves will lose taxpayer-funded housing and financial aid. flag The government says the changes restore border control and fairness, while critics warn they risk destitution and violate international obligations.
