Thank you payment for hosts
If you host a Ukrainian person or family, you may be eligible for a monthly thank you payment (optional).
£350 per month is paid while guests are staying with you or in your accommodation. Payments may stop at the end of the 18 month UPE extension, subject to government updates.
Guests are encouraged to find their own accommodation by the end of the extension or agree a rental agreement with you (such as a rent a room scheme).
You'll need to reapply for host payments after your guest receives their UPE extension.

If your guests travel abroad
If your guests leave the UK for more than 4 weeks, you must tell us so we can pause your Thank you payments.
Contact your Case Officer directly or email [email protected]
Let us know when they return so we can restart your payments.

If your guests leave your accommodation
You must tell us immediately if your guests:
- move into private or council housing
- move in with family or friends
- leave the UK
Failure to notify us may result in overpayments, which you’ll need to repay in full.
