Universal Credit: Students

Asked by Caroline VoadenLiberal DemocratDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 23 December 2024UIN 20716

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate her Department has made of the number of students whose Universal Credit has been affected by receipt of a student loan in the most recent period for which data is available.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The requested information is not readily available as student loan income is not separated in the data we have and to provide this would incur disproportionate cost.
