The next regular official statistics will be published on 19 February 2019. This will provide the latest data on payment timeliness for new Universal Credit claims. Future official statistics will include additional breakdowns of payment timeliness.

Longer term we will publish further Universal Credit statistical releases and continue to commission and publish ad-hoc statistical releases.
