star this property answer text <p>The primary aim of the deductions in Universal Credit is to protect claimants by providing a last resort repayment method for arrears of essential services.</p><p> </p><p>Making deductions from a claimant’s benefit is a cost effective and efficient mechanism to recover third party debt and benefit debt. Regulations protect claimants from excessive deductions. There are limits set for individual deduction items, there is also an overall deduction cap set at 25% of standard allowance, although where necessary to support the claimant, this can be exceeded for rent and fuel debts.</p> more like this
