Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people are in receipt of the health element of universal credit in Middlesbrough and Thornaby East constituency.

Quarterly statistics for the number of People on Universal Credit with a health condition or disability restricting their ability to work in Great Britain are published on Stat-Xplore. The latest release provides figures up to December 2024 which can be broken down by ‘Age (in bands and single year)’, Westminster Parliamentary Constituency and Local Authority.

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 UC Health caseload aged under 22 at the mid-point of the current financial year (July 2024) can be combined with the standard monthly Limited capability for work and work-related activity element of £416.19 to derive an estimate for annual expenditure for 24/25.
