<p>As part of the experimental official statistics, information is available on the
number of households on Universal Credit which were entitled to additional support
following a finding of limited capability for work. Around 12,000 households that
received a payment of Universal Credit in June 2017 were entitled to this additional
support – 3% of all households in payment. Further information on these statistics
can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/universal-credit-statistics"

</p><p>In response to requests for information on Universal Credit we have consulted
users on the expansion of Universal Credit statistics. We are currently reviewing
the responses and if numbers of disabled people on UC prove to be a high priority
for our users we will consider publishing them regularly, subject to sufficient quality
assurance.</p>
