If you are unsure whether you are allowed to work, or you believe there is an error relating to your permission to work, you should visit https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-whilst-an-asylum-claim-is-considered.

Permission to work is not issued automatically: you still have to apply for it. To make an application you must complete the Permission to Work form: PTW1 and send it to the following team:

Asylum Casework Teams
Permission to Work Team
Level 0
Capital Building
Old Hall Street

Alternatively, you can email the application to [email protected] for asylum claims or [email protected] for further submissions or [email protected] for foreign national offender (FNO) cases.
