Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many claimants in the (a) London Borough of Haringey and (b) Tottenham constituency were eligible for universal credit on 1 January 2018.

The latest available information on the number of people on Universal Credit by parliamentary constituency and local authority is published and can be accessed at:

https://sw.stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/Getting-Started.html

These statistics count the number of individuals who were eligible for Universal Credit and on an active claim at the time of the count. They include individuals on claims with a nil award but do not include those who are eligible to receive Universal Credit but have not made a claim.
