Guidance Issued for Asylum Decision Responses

Leeds City Council Provides Information on Next Steps After Asylum Decisions

Leeds City Council has published important guidance for individuals who have recently received a decision on their asylum application from the Home Office. The information aims to assist applicants in understanding the actions they need to take following either a positive or negative asylum decision.

Key Points of the Guidance

According to the council, it is crucial for asylum applicants to respond promptly upon receiving their decision letter. This is particularly important as support provided during the asylum process may end shortly after the decision is issued. The guidance outlines steps to secure necessary assistance and avoid interruptions in support services.

Actions to Consider After Receiving an Asylum Decision

• Review the decision letter carefully to understand the outcome and any deadlines.
• Seek advice or legal support promptly to explore options following the decision.
• Act quickly to access available support services before current asylum support ends.

The full guidance document is available online and provides detailed information to help individuals navigate the period following their asylum decision.

For further details, the guidance can be accessed via the Leeds City Council through Doing Good Leeds at: Asylum Decision Guidance – September 2025.
