Universal Credit – Parliamentary Written Answer

Rachel Reeves: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what estimate he has made of the effect on the time taken to receive universal credit of a claimant (a) moving to live in an area where universal credit is not being piloted, (b) forming a new relationship and being re-classified as part of a couple and (c) having a child. 

Esther McVey: No estimate of this has been made. Providing the claimant reports all details of the change promptly, payment of universal credit would continue without any delay.
