Universal Credit
| Dataset | Universal Credit |
| Description | The monthly number of people on Universal Credit includes all individuals who have an open claim on the count date for the month. Some people will have their claim terminated either at the request of the individual or if their entitlement to Universal Credit ends. If a termination is recorded, but the person is still receiving a payment, then the claim will still be classed as live at the end of each reporting month. The latest month’s figures are provisional and are subject to change in the next publication where they will be revised and finalised. Monthly figures are currently not subject to retrospection beyond the first revision. |
