Universal Credit statistics uses the term ‘conditionality regime’ in place of conditionality groups and labour market regime. The intensive work search group is part of the labour market regime.

The latest available information on the number of people on Universal Credit by conditionality regime and Jobcentre Plus office is published and can be found in the ‘People on Universal Credit’ dataset on Stat-Xplore. The extracted statistics for May 2026 are shown in the attachment below.
