answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>Universal Credit new claim advances are made on account of a claimant’s expected future Universal Credit entitlement.

The rate deducted from a claimant’s Universal Credit is generally determined by the amount of their entitlement advance divided by the number of monthly assessment periods which they choose at the outset for the advanced amount to be recovered from. This is subject to an overall maximum rate of 40 per cent of the claimant’s standard allowance.

For example, hospital visits resulting in unexpected and regular bus/taxi fares. If these circumstances push the claimant into genuine hardship resulting in difficulty repaying the advance over the agreed recovery time, a maximum 3-month deferral can be considered.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma grouped question UIN 226695 226696 226697 question first answered 04/03/2019 17:31:04 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
