The SNP has called on the UK Government to scrap its policy which excludes people who are subject to immigration control from accessing vital benefits or working.
The no recourse to public funds (NRPF) policy excludes people who are subject to immigration control from accessing vital welfare support including Universal Credit and housing assistance.
This policy includes people without settled status, immigrants, and asylum seekers and impacts almost 1.4 million people and around 175,000 children across the UK.
