Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will take steps to ensure universal credit claimants can save their online claim forms throughout the process of completing the form.

Claims made on-line do not need to be saved separately when gathering information. In Universal Credit full service the claim is made using the claimants account where the ‘save and return’ functionality is available. This has all the security features necessary to safeguard the claimant’s data by confirming the identity of the returning user.
