Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the of Answer of 22 September 2022 to Question 49117 on Universal Credit, if she will instruct the Universal Credit Programme Board to collect and publish monthly data on the number and proportion of people who missed the initial deadline day to claim specified in their Migration Notice.

The department is currently completing its analysis of the first 500 legacy claimants who were issued with a Universal Credit Migration Notice. We intend to publish our learnings and observations from the initial Discovery tests in due course, but it is important to do this at such point we have a complete set of data to avoid releasing information prematurely which could be inadvertently misleading.
