You're not a refugee when you come off train, plane, boat, dinghy, lorry
etc., you're an asylum seeker. Very different thing. According to the Government, 53% of asylum claims are granted, giving refugee status to asylum seekers -

Asylum seekers do not have the right to work normally unless their applications for refugee status takes longer than a year. Instead, if needed housing and subsistence can be provided under section 95 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (or section 4 for cases under appeal)
