In Scotland, a mass mailing of letters to families who have taken in Ukrainians has begun, informing them of the complete suspension of financial benefits.
One landlord told the Daily Mail that the letter asked him if he supported the abolition of the payments and whether he intended to demand that his Ukrainian guest leave. He replied firmly: “We will never do that.”
According to the Daily Mail, the decision could affect around 28,000 Ukrainian refugees. The Labour Party has decided to withdraw financial support and scrap the £350 grant for hosts providing accommodation.
Local authorities are warning that the situation could lead to an increase in the number of homeless people – many Ukrainians may have nowhere to go after losing support.
