Unemployment Benefits: Afghanistan
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many and what proportion of Afghan nationals with Indefinite Leave to Remain are claiming unemployment benefits.
- Answer
-
The Department does not hold the requested information on how many and what proportion of Afghan nationals with Indefinite Leave to Remain are claiming unemployment benefits.
The Department checks immigration status when assessing eligibility, but this information is not collated centrally and hence not readily available. The Department is exploring the feasibility of developing suitable official statistics related to the immigration status of non-UK / Irish Universal Credit customers.
