 "status": "Provisional: the Home Office treats its asylum support figures from 2018 on as provisional",
 "notes": [
  "People receiving support under section 95 (asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute), section 4 (refused asylum seekers who cannot yet leave the UK) and section 98 (temporary support while a claim for section 95 support is assessed), as the pivot table Asy_D09 gives them. Subsistence only is financial support for people who have accommodation of their own.",
  "The Home Office's table gives the eight latest quarter-ends; earlier ones are in its record-level data by nationality and region, which the hub would have to add up, so they are not shown. Hotel use peaked at 56,018 people at the end of September 2023, as the release states."
