Summary

This dataset is linked to the following visualization: Visualization - People on Universal Credit - LSOA

The number of Universal Credit claimants includes those who have started Universal Credit (completed the Universal Credit claim process and accepted their Claimant Commitment) and have not had a closure of their claim recorded for this spell, up to the 'count date' (second Thursday in each month). A closure of their claim would be recorded either at the request of the individual or if their entitlement to Universal Credit ends, for example, if they no longer satisfy the financial conditions to receive Universal Credit as they have capital over £16,000. Please note that figures for the latest month are provisional and will be finalised in the next release (the expectation is that the overall provisional figure will be within two per cent of the final figure). The figures include a breakdown on whether the claimant is in employment or not in employment. This figure is only provided for the revised month, and is not available for the latest provisional month in the series. An individual on Universal Credit at the count date will be recorded as in employment if they have employment earnings within the Universal Credit assessment period which spans the count date. They may not be in employment precisely on the count date.

Statistical disclosure control has been applied with Stat-Xplore, which guards against the identification of an individual claimant.
