Universal Credit: Foreign Nationals
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of trends in the level of foreign nationals claiming Universal Credit.
Answered by Andrew Western
The Department publishes Universal Credit (UC) immigration status and nationality statistics as part of the Universal Credit statistics publication. The latest release of these statistics is included in the latest Universal Credit statistical bulletin. ‘Table 2’ in the latest Universal Credit immigration status and nationality data tables provides information on the number of people on Universal Credit by immigration status, nationality group and employment status, for each month from April 2022 to June 2025.
