Dr Philippa Whitford: To ask the Secretary of State for
Work and Pensions, what the process is for splitting universal credit payments
between adults in a household.
Alok Sharma: In very exceptional circumstances, payment
of Universal Credit can be divided between two members of the household. This
is an Alternative Payment Arrangement known as a Split Payment. The larger
percentage of a Split Payment will be allocated to the person with primary caring responsibilities, such as child care. This is to
ensure the health and well-being of the majority of the household.
