Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how long a Ukrainian national in resident in the UK under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme can return to Ukraine for before the payment to the UK sponsor of that person ceases.

Lead sponsors are eligible to claim the £350 “thank you” payment for a full month if their guests were residing at their accommodation for at least half of the month before they left. Payments are paid monthly in arrears and paused payments can resume within the remaining 12 month period of sponsorship when guests return to live with their sponsor.
