Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people in receipt of Universal Credit who were (a) in the intensive work-search labour market regime, (b) assessed to have limited capability for work and (c) assessed to have limited capability for work and work-related activity were (i) in and (b) not in work in each month for which data is available since April 2013.

Statistics for people on Universal Credit at the second Thursday of each month are published monthly on Stat-Xplore. The latest statistics are available in the People on UC dataset for the conditionality regime category of ‘searching for work’, by employment status monthly from April 2015 to March 2024.

Users can log in or access Stat-Xplore as a guest and, if needed, can access guidance on how to extract the information required.

The monthly statistics from April 2019 to December 2023 are provided in the attached spreadsheet. Monthly caseload statistics for the same time period are available in the UC Health caseload dataset on Stat-Xplore.
