It includes claims that are closed at any stage of the claim and includes those that fall within the re-claim process. This is where claimants who meet certain conditions and return to Universal Credit within 6 months of their previous award ending, can make a claim under an easier reclaim process.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of the reclaims in August 2018, had their initial claim closed because of a split in a couple claim (28%); the claimant making an additional claim linked by National Insurance Number resulting in the original claim being closed (26%); and because the Claimant did not accept their Claimant Commitment (22%).</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Closure month</p></td><td><p>Claimants re-applying within 30 days</p></td><td><p>Proportion of closed claims</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>July-2018</p></td><td><p>16,400</p></td><td><p>21%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>August-2018</p></td><td><p>19,000</p></td><td><p>21%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><ul><li>Figures have been rounded to nearest 100 and 1%.</li></ul>
