answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2017 answer text <p>The information requested is shown in the table below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Claims Cleared in 5 working days</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jobseekers Allowance</p></td><td><p>351,081</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Employment &amp; Support Allowance</p></td><td><p>385,934</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>This information is not collected in relation to Universal Credit. The assessment period and payment structure of Universal Credit is fundamentally different to the legacy benefits it is replacing. The first payment is made 5 weeks after the initial application (6 weeks if waiting days are served). This mirrors the world of work and allows for a 1 month assessment period in which to gather information about a claimant’s earnings.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 30/06/2017 13:15:26 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2017 answer text <p>We recognise that this is a difficult and sensitive issue, and have set up procedures that are mindful of the sensitivities involved. To claim the exception the claimant will need to provide a completed pro-forma from an approved third party or evidence relating to either a relevant criminal conviction or relevant award of criminal injuries compensation. DWP staff will not question the claimant about the incident, they will only take the claim and receive the supporting documents.

They will not be asked to identify the alleged perpetrator.</p><p>Where a pro-forma is provided from a third party, DWP staff will check that the form is complete and verified by an approved third party.
