Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many universal credit claimants received their final payment of the £20 a week universal credit uplift on or prior to 8 September 2021.

For Universal Credit claimants, Assessment Periods that ended on or after 6 October 2021 will not include the additional £20 per week.

The latest available statistics, taken from Stat-Xplore, show that the number of people who were on Universal Credit on 9 September 2021 was 5.8 million.

These statistics are published monthly and can be found at:
