310 Universal Credit households.

Notes:

  1. Base: Those in receipt of Universal Credit at 2 April 2022
  2. ‘affected’ includes households that have an exception in place but receive the UC child element due to their exception.
  3. Universal Credit figures are for GB only (as DWP do not administer Universal Credit in Northern Ireland)
  4. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10 and may not sum due to rounding
  5. Parliamentary Constituency is derived using postcode lookup data against the claimant address, however parliamentary constituency is not present for all households in this data source
