A Home Office letter - seen by Sky News - has been sent out, informing the majority of the 8,000 people evacuated after the fall of Kabul that they will need to find their own accommodation.
Unlike asylum seekers, Afghan evacuees can work and the government says it is time for them to move on and fully integrate into British society.
We spoke to several evacuees relocated to Hertfordshire who claimed they had not received any offers of accommodation so far and that they were struggling to arrange renting a property due to a lack of credit history. The 44-year-old was an electrical engineer in Afghanistan, an adviser to an Afghan minister and now works part-time in a shop. He said his children are finally settled in school after the trauma of the Taliban takeover.
He said:"We cannot find a property that's suitable to rent. We're living in this area and we know the area. The children have been going to school and they've made some friends."Hotels housing refugees have been subject to protests and counter-protests including this one in Newquay, CornwallHe said he was living between the UK and Afghanistan when the Taliban re-took control and was evacuated back to Britain. He has held a British passport since 2007.
