– Households on Universal Credit</p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes: </strong></p><ol><li>Statistical
disclosure control has been applied to these figures to avoid the release of confidential
data. Totals may not sum due to the disclosure control applied.</li><li>These figures
do not include households with a nil award. Households may not be in payment if, for
example, earnings for the period are sufficiently high that the taper rate reduces
their entitlement to £0.</li><li>These figures are provisional and will be subject
to revision. It is expected that overall provisional figures will be within two per
cent of their revised figure in future releases.</li><li>Monthly award amounts include
any awards due to entitlement such as the standard allowance or housing entitlement
plus any advance payments. Advance payments will normally be recovered during subsequent
assessment periods.</li></ol>
