UK Home Office Warns Asylum Seekers: Move or Lose Support as Hotel Costs Soar
Let the people who voted for the Tories who literally stopped processing asylum claims pay. They let the numbers in the system shoot up as nobody was either getting through and allowed in as a genuine asylum seeker (once you're through the process, you're allowed to work), or deported as a non-genuine asylum seeker. Putting up people while they're being processed is supposed to be temporary... -

UK DWP minister gives update on ‘bank spying’ plans which will hit millions
DWP Reveals More Details on Planned Bank Data Access Powers The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has provided further clarification on its proposed powers to access claimants’ bank account information, part of the upcoming Fraud, Error and Debt Bill currently progressing through Parliament. The bill, central to the government's efforts to combat benefit fraud, includes new powers allowing the DWP to request data from financial institutions to verify eligibility for welfare support. These proposals are currently under discussion in the House of Lords. Baroness Maeve Sherlock, Minister of State for the DWP, outlined how the new system would function. At the heart of the legislation is the Eligibility Verification Measure, which authorises the DWP to issue an Eligibility Verification Notice to banks or other financial bodies. Upon receipt of such a notice, institutions would be legally required to provide specified financial details. The type of data that can be requested includes the account holder’s name, date of birth, sort code, account number, and other relevant information that could help assess whether the account affects the person’s benefit eligibility. The government argues that these new measures are needed to ensure claimants meet financial eligibility criteria for benefits such as Universal Credit. For instance, having savings above £16,000 can disqualify a person from receiving Universal Credit in most situations. Baroness Sherlock stated the rollout will take place gradually over 12 months, beginning with a limited number of financial institutions. The minister also addressed another component of the bill—the proposed introduction of Direct Deduction Orders, which would enable the DWP to recover money directly from a claimant’s earnings or bank account. This power is already used by HM Revenue and Customs and the Child Maintenance Service. According to Baroness Sherlock, the DWP anticipates issuing between 5,000 and 20,000 Direct Deduction Orders annually. The measures are part of what the Labour government describes as the most significant anti-fraud initiative in decades. Officials estimate the changes could recover £1.5 billion in overpayments and fraud-related losses over the next five years. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Independent 2025-07-29 -
