Freedom From Torture and more than 50 other Organizations have jointly written to the Home Secretary and the Chancellor of the Exchequer asking that they increase asylum support rates by £20 per week in line with Universal Credit. We sign this petition to show our support to their call.

We call for an immediate increase of £20 per week in line with the increase in UC and Section 4 support to be paid in cash.
