Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many full-time equivalent officials in her Department process claim forms for (a) Universal Credit, (b) Job Seekers' Allowance and (c) Personal Independence Payment; and how many such forms were processed on average each working day for each benefit in each of the last five years.

The information requested is not held centrally and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
