Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate his Department has made of the number of Universal Credit claimants who are entitled to receive but have not yet been credited with class 3 National Insurance contributions, since the introduction of the new computer system in March 2019.

All claimants in receipt of Universal Credit (UC) are entitled to receive Class 3 National Insurance credits and these are awarded automatically on an annual basis.

Any UC claimant not receiving these credits should contact HMRC.
