The amount given to asylum seekers is less than 1% of what is spent on the NHS each year. Individual asylum seekers receive around 70% (£38.96 per week) of income support. They are not entitled to many of the benefits others rely upon, such as disability living allowance. Refugees are entitled to the same level of benefits as UK citizens, since they have proven their right to stay here. However, most of them want to work, and many of them do.
