  • Source: UC Management Information and HMRC Real Time Information, February 2022 to January 2023.
  • The Into Work rate is the proportion of UC claimants who enter work each month out of those who in the previous month were not working and in the Intensive Work Search conditionality group.
  • Claimants are measured as moving into work if they leave UC and have earnings in Real Time Information data, or if they remain in UC and have earnings in Real Time Information data or self-declare employed earnings or self-employed work to DWP.
  • Only movements into work for claimants who spend a full month in the Intensive Work Search conditionality group without earnings are included in this measure.
  • Duration in Intensive Work Search is measured by the number of consecutive months claimants were in this conditionality group at the end of a UC assessment period
