Asked by: Helen Whately (Conservative - Faversham and Mid Kent)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many households in receipt of Universal Credit have a total gross household income, including earnings and other income, within each of the following bands: (a) £0–£20,000; (b) £20,001–£40,000; (c) £40,001–£60,000; (d) £60,001–£80,000; (e) £80,001–£100,000; (f) £100,001–£120,000; (g) £120,001–£140,000; and (h) £140,000+.

Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government) (Equalities)

We do not routinely produce information on the distribution of households in receipt of Universal Credit by gross household income. However, the relevant data is publicly available in the Households Below Average Income datasets on DWP Stat-Xplore, https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/.

Guidance on how to use Stat-Xplore can be found here: Getting Started (dwp.gov.uk). An account is not required to use Stat- Xplore, the ‘Guest Login’ feature gives instant access to the main functions.
