Closed Stop the planned increase to the Immigration Health Surcharge

Closed on

The Government plans to increase the Immigration Health Surcharge for most immigrants from £400 to £624 from October. Many immigrants are losing their jobs, or seeing their working hours cut, yet from October will have to pay an additional surcharge to the NHS.

Immigrants, many of whom are already experiencing financial hardship, should be saved this additional cost, which would allow them to use this money for essentials such as food and utilities.
