Q&A

Tasha B

What's your experience of trying to access support from your local authority / council like?

I tried to apply, but the process was quite confusing. A lot of the information seemed to be aimed at people who already have settled status or are on certain benefits. I wasn’t sure if I was eligible, and it was hard to get a clear answer. I didn’t have all the documents they asked for, and I didn’t always understand the system. I ended up not getting the help in the end, which was really discouraging.
