Table of contents
This dashboard contains the most recent constituency estimates of Universal Credit claimants at household and person level (including data for neighbourhoods within constituencies).
Time series data back to 2016 is also provided.
Universal Credit (UC) replaces six ‘legacy’ benefits and tax credits for working-age households. The Government first launched UC in 2013. The Department for Work and Pensions currently expects all households claiming legacy benefits and tax credits to have been notified of the need to move across to UC by the end of 2024 (with the exception of Employment Support Allowance).
