Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether payments to hosts in the Homes for Ukraine scheme will be treated as income for the purposes of those in receipt of universal credit and other income-related benefits.

The Government is grateful to individuals who wish to play their part in supporting Homes for Ukraine. DWP is working at pace with DLUHC and the Home Office to ensure benefit claimants who feel they can support the scheme are able to do so, and will be no worse off.
