Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department has allocated additional funding for the home visiting service in advance of managed migration to universal credit.
This year we have allocated £1 million of funding for the home visiting service. For 2019/20 the total fund allocated will rise to just under £2 million, and will continue to increase to over £5.5 million per year by 2023/24, as the number of claimants moving to Universal Credit under the managed migration process increases.
