<p>The latest available data shows there were 610,000 claimants who had not fully
repaid a Universal Credit Advance which had been taken out prior to 5 November 2018.
This equates to around 40% of the total claimants with a Universal Credit Advance.</p><p>
</p><p>Notes:</p><ol><li>Data is a snapshot of information held on 15 May 2019 and
has been rounded to the nearest ten thousand.</li><li>Many Universal Credit advances
are taken out over a 12-month repayment period, so this snapshot of data includes
cases where repayments are being made to the agreed timeline.</li><li>This data has
been sourced from internal management information and due to the time available, has
not been quality assured to the usual standards for public release. It should therefore
not be compared to any other similar data subsequently released by the Department.</li></ol>
