Overview
A clear path through Recourse to Public Funds.
A 'No Recourse to Public Funds' (NRPF) condition stops many migrants accessing benefits and social housing. Where you face destitution, child welfare risk or exceptional circumstances, you can apply to lift the condition.
We have a strong record of NRPF change-of-condition applications, including urgent cases involving children.
