answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2017 answer text <p>If a couple is living together in a household, Universal Credit (UC) normally makes a single award to that household. It is for the couple in the household to determine where their single award is paid. This could be either a joint account or an individual account held by one member of the couple. Within UC it is possible for a payment to be divided between two members of the household. This is known as a Split Payment and it is designed to prevent hardship to the claimant and their family. It is considered in certain specific situations such as domestic violence or where financial abuse occurs and one partner mismanages the UC payment. Our approach is based on the evidence that suggests that only 7% of cohabiting couples and only 2% of married couples keep their finances completely separate.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 08/11/2017 10:31:45 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2017 answer text <p>The Department’s policy is to develop its staff in the skills and knowledge required to support a range of customers and deliver their services.</p><p>Universal Credit continues to be rolled out throughout the country and staff continue to be trained to support the implementation. Since the answer of 12 September 2016 to Question <a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2016-09-02/44399/" target="_blank">44399</a>, there have been a further 4,880 colleagues that have undergone more than 12 hours of training on Universal Credit. This takes the total number of colleagues to 17,047. However, due to a change in reporting systems a breakdown by grade could only be provided at a disproportionate cost.</p><p>We are planning that all DWP staff who will be working with Universal Credit by the time of full roll out will have completed the required training. We plan on a flexible basis to meet customer demand and therefore forecasts vary.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 07/11/2017 16:21:26 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
