Universal Credit – Parliamentary Written Answer

Stephen Timms: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what written information claimants will receive on the breakdown of their universal credit entitlements; how frequently such information will be provided; and if he will make a statement.
Mr Hoban: Claimants will receive a universal credit decision letter at the point their claim has been determined which will explain their single new universal credit payment, when it will be paid each month and how it has been calculated. The breakdown will include which elements they are eligible for, the amounts and how any earnings, income or other deductions have affected their payment. Further decision letters will be issued following any changes in claimant's circumstances that affect the elements or amount they receive.
