Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people have been referred to her Department's in-work progression pilot scheme; and how many of those people have received an increase in their earnings as a result of participation in that pilot scheme.
30,709 claimants participated in the In-Work Progression Randomised Control Trial. At week 52, 16,496 (54%) saw an increase in earnings*.
On average, Frequent and Moderate Support participants earned £5.25 and £4.43 per week more, respectively, than the Minimal Support Group at 52 weeks.
