Universal Credit: Migrants
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people with humanitarian leave to remain have (a) applied for and (b) received universal credit in each of the last 3 years.
Answered by Andrew Western
The information requested for part (i) is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
The Department publishes Universal Credit (UC) immigration status and nationality statistics as part of the Universal Credit statistics publication. These statistics can be found on https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/universal-credit-statistics-29-april-2013-to-10-july-2025. For part (ii) the number of people on Universal Credit with a humanitarian scheme immigration status, for each month from April 2022 to June 2025, is in Table 1 of the following data tables: Universal Credit immigration status and nationality statistics to July 2025.
