The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

DWP statisticians are currently working to develop official statistics on Alternative Payment Arrangements for Universal Credit (UC) which will include information on split payments. These were to be included in the UC official statistics released on 21 March 2018 but due to an issue identified during the quality assurance of these figures, this has been delayed.
