answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>Revised decisions as a result of a Mandatory Reconsideration are held on different systems depending upon whether the claim is a Universal Credit Live Service or Full Service one. To obtain the data for Universal Credit Full Service would incur disproportionate cost. For Universal Credit Live Service claims, although data on decision making is held, this does not include the average clearance time for a Mandatory Reconsideration or time taken to implement the revised decision.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 16/07/2018 17:04:50 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>Research shows that many people come onto Universal Credit with pre-existing rent arrears.</p><p>We also know that arrears are usually temporary and the majority of claimants do succeed in paying their rent, managing their monthly payments and clearing their arrears over time. In our research, the proportion of Universal Credit claimants who were in arrears at the start of their claim fell by a third after four months.</p><p>We have made changes to help people financially until their first payment. Advances are available to provide financial support and these can now be repaid over a course of 12 months and can consist of up to 100 per cent of the indicative monthly award. We have also abolished waiting days and now provide 2 weeks of housing support to claimants moving to Universal Credit from Housing Benefit.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 16/07/2018 16:42:03 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
