Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what recent assessment they have made of the impact of the migration to Universal Credit on child poverty.
This question was answered on 4th November 2020
The Government made a commitment that no eligible claimants’ existing benefits, whose circumstances remain unchanged and who are moved to Universal Credit (UC), will have a lower entitlement at the point of their move to UC than they had entitlement to their existing benefits.
