The second Thursday of the month is used in the creation of our UC caseload information.</p><p> </p><p>Prior to April 2019, some UC claims were recorded on an interim operational system called UC Live Service (UCLS). Figures for UCLS Health claimants are not currently collated and to develop that information would incur disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>These figures are rounded to the nearest 10 and produced using internal MI, are not quality assured to Official Statistics standards, and may be subject to revision.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>LIMITED CAPABILITY FOR WORK</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>LIMITED CAPABILITY FOR WORK RELATED ACTIVITIES</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Apr-19</strong></p></td><td><p>59,010</p></td><td><p>146,960</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>May-19</strong></p></td><td><p>63,520</p></td><td><p>157,010</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jun-19</strong></p></td><td><p>69,520</p></td><td><p>172,770</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jul-19</strong></p></td><td><p>75,850</p></td><td><p>186,610</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Aug-19</strong></p></td><td><p>81,240</p></td><td><p>202,910</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Sep-19</strong></p></td><td><p>86,480</p></td><td><p>231,250</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Oct-19</strong></p></td><td><p>89,600</p></td><td><p>247,570</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Nov-19</strong></p></td><td><p>91,410</p></td><td><p>262,400</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Dec-19</strong></p></td><td><p>92,940</p></td><td><p>288,750</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jan-20</strong></p></td><td><p>94,180</p></td><td><p>303,710</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Feb-20</strong></p></td><td><p>114,580</p></td><td><p>332,250</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Mar-20</strong></p></td><td><p>125,780</p></td><td><p>363,350</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Apr-20</strong></p></td><td><p>143,800</p></td><td><p>381,840</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>May-20</strong></p></td><td><p>146,640</p></td><td><p>392,710</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jun-20</strong></p></td><td><p>147,540</p></td><td><p>402,390</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jul-20</strong></p></td><td><p>147,670</p></td><td><p>411,820</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Aug-20</strong></p></td><td><p>146,960</p></td><td><p>426,340</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Sep-20</strong></p></td><td><p>139,260</p></td><td><p>438,880</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Oct-20</strong></p></td><td><p>139,230</p></td><td><p>454,100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Nov-20</strong></p></td><td><p>140,780</p></td><td><p>476,790</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Dec-20</strong></p></td><td><p>146,940</p></td><td><p>490,880</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jan-21</strong></p></td><td><p>153,100</p></td><td><p>512,890</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Feb-21</strong></p></td><td><p>157,270</p></td><td><p>529,760</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Mar-21</strong></p></td><td><p>162,350</p></td><td><p>549,790</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Apr-21</strong></p></td><td><p>167,540</p></td><td><p>571,950</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>May-21</strong></p></td><td><p>172,930</p></td><td><p>596,960</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jun-21</strong></p></td><td><p>177,390</p></td><td><p>618,750</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jul-21</strong></p></td><td><p>180,820</p></td><td><p>637,230</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Aug-21</strong></p></td><td><p>187,290</p></td><td><p>660,670</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Sep-21</strong></p></td><td><p>191,590</p></td><td><p>676,860</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Oct-21</strong></p></td><td><p>198,540</p></td><td><p>703,950</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Nov-21</strong></p></td><td><p>203,050</p></td><td><p>723,170</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Dec-21</strong></p></td><td><p>207,900</p></td><td><p>743,720</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jan-22</strong></p></td><td><p>212,780</p></td><td><p>765,430</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Feb-22</strong></p></td><td><p>219,010</p></td><td><p>789,470</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Mar-22</strong></p></td><td><p>224,070</p></td><td><p>814,420</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Apr-22</strong></p></td><td><p>231,200</p></td><td><p>846,370</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>May-22</strong></p></td><td><p>235,060</p></td><td><p>865,500</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jun-22</strong></p></td><td><p>241,290</p></td><td><p>894,900</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Jul-22</strong></p></td><td><p>248,390</p></td><td><p>925,280</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Aug-22</strong></p></td><td><p>253,150</p></td><td><p>946,380</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Sep-22</strong></p></td><td><p>258,460</p></td><td><p>969,970</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Oct-22</strong></p></td><td><p>264,640</p></td><td><p>997,080</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Nov-22</strong></p></td><td><p>270,540</p></td><td><p>1,022,540</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove grouped question UIN 119876 question first answered 19/01/2023 11:36:00 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
