Of all eligible claims to Universal Credit Full Service due a payment in Feb 2019, 57 per cent (840,000 claims) had a deduction.
Notes
Deductions include advance repayments and all other deductions, but exclude sanctions and fraud penalties which are reductions of benefit rather than deductions.
Claim numbers may not match official statistics caseloads due to small methodological differences.
Claim numbers are rounded to the nearest 1,000.
