- Public benefits, such as unemployment or disability benefits
- Public healthcare
- Public housing
- Other public services listed in paragraph 6 of the immigration rules
What to do if you are subject to the NRPF condition
If you are subject to the NRPF condition, it is essential to understand which public services you can access and which you cannot. You can seek advice from an immigration lawyer or social services specialist to get more detailed information about your situation.
