Universal Credit - Parliamentary Written Answers

Baroness Lister of Burtersett: To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are their current working assumptions about the number and proportion of universal credit claimants who are likely to require personal budgeting support.

Lord Freud: All new Universal Credit claimants will be offered personal budgeting support if they require it. Of those that do require assistance, we know that a small proportion will require in-depth budgeting support and we have arrangements in place to ensure that they can receive this. This work will be informed by experience in the live service sites as well as the Direct Payment Demonstration Projects.
