Temporary leave for people in the Homes for Ukraine scheme
If your guests leave your home temporarily for 4 weeks or more, or leave without a return date, you need to let us know so we can suspend your payments. Tell us your guests have left temporarily.
When they come back, you'll need to tell us your guests have returned and reapply for payments. Since 1 October 2024, sponsors who are in (or later form) a close family relationship with their guests will not be eligible for payments to be restarted.
Children being left without the parent they travelled with
Parents and sponsors must contact us before making any arrangements for guest children to be left without the parent they travelled with. It is especially important that parents do not leave the country before contacting us.
There are both legal and safeguarding implications for these arrangements and therefore it is important that you discuss this with the team to make sure that you have the correct information and are aware of the steps you must take.
