answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>The proportion of new claims to Universal Credit Full Service receiving full payment on time in January 2017 was 55%. Since then Waiting Days have been abolished, advances increased from 50% to 100% and a two week run on of housing benefit was introduced. Latest figures for full payment on time in the first assessment period for November 2018 show an increase to 86% from the 55% recorded in January 2017.</p><p> </p><p>Between 2017 and 2018, the number of people making a claim to Universal Credit rose by 132%. Trussell Trust data for the same period shows an increase in the number of foodbank parcels issued to Universal Credit claimants of 90%. So while there may have been difficulties in early 2017, what we may be observing now is a substitution effect as legacy claims are replaced by Universal Credit claims, rather than an increase directly attributing to Universal Credit.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 26/02/2019 11:02:07 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
