These monthly experimental statistics include the total
number of people:
- who have made a claim for Universal Credit to 8
November 2018
- who have made a claim and have attended an initial
interview, accepted their claimant commitment, and gone on
to start Universal Credit up to 8 November 2018
- who are on Universal Credit at 8 November 2018
The statistics are broken down by:
- Jobcentre Plus office
- age
- employment status
- conditionality regime
DWP is currently investigating a discrepancy with the data
on duration on Universal Credit. While we assess the scale
of this issue we have removed this breakdown from
Stat-Xplore. Caution should be used when viewing this
breakdown via other mechanisms (such as supplementary
tables).
