Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 14 November to Question 17 on Universal Credit, if he will estimate the number of working Universal Credit recipients who received an incorrect Universal Credit payment as a result of an employer's incorrect real time information submission to HMRC in the latest month for which data is available.

For the last 12 months, UC has received around 29 million RTI feeds to calculate UC payments for those households with employed earnings. Where errors affect UC entitlement, payments are corrected as part of normal business.
