Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the High Court decision in R (Johnson, Woods, Barrett and Stewart) v SSWP CO/1552/2018, what recent estimate she has made of the number of claimants that have received less money as a result of the incorrect interpretations of the Regulations relating to universal credit’s assessment periods.
The Department is carefully considering the High Court’s Judgment and it is therefore not appropriate to comment further at this stage.
