Universal Credit: Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people aged between 16 and 18 were in receipt of Universal Credit on 18 March 2025.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
Monthly statistics for the number of People on Universal Credit in Great Britain are published regularly on Stat-Xplore. The latest release provides provisional figures for the ‘count date’ of 13 February 2025 which can be broken down by ‘Age (in bands and single year)’. The next release with provisional figures for the count date of 13 March 2025 is scheduled for release on 15 April 2025 at 09:30am.
Users can log in or access Stat-Xplore as a guest and, if needed, can access guidance on how to extract the information required. There is also a Universal Credit Official Statistics: Stat-Xplore user guide.
