The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many claimants are in receipt of Universal Credit after passing a habitual residency test.

Answered by Andrew Western

The information is not readily available and has not previously been published as official statistics. The Department is exploring the feasibility of developing suitable official statistics related to the immigration status of non-UK / Irish Universal Credit customers.
