Universal Credit
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Universal Credit awards were made with an Alternative Payment Arrangement in each month since 5 July 2024.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
Monthly Universal Credit statistics showing the number in payment and using alternative payment arrangements, including managed payment to landlord, more frequent payment, and split payment methods, are published in the Households on Universal Credit dataset on Stat-Xplore, and are currently available to August 2025.
Users can log in or access Stat-Xplore as a guest and, if needed, can access guidance on how to extract information. There is also a Universal Credit Official Statistics: Stat-Xplore user guide.
