answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2019 answer text <p>Local Authorities have a duty to notify changes to a Housing Benefit award. Therefore, if a Housing Benefit claim ends because of a move to Universal Credit, the claimant is notified that the Housing Benefit claim has ended.</p><p> </p><p>However, we know that many tenants are arriving on Universal Credit with pre-existing rent arrears, that their arrears tended to increase prior to making a claim for Universal Credit, and that Universal Credit actually appears to be helping to clear arrears over time. According to latest figures (November 2018) only about 8% of social rented households were on Universal Credit.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 28/03/2019 09:35:46 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2019 answer text <p>For Universal Credit New Claims no claimant has to go five weeks without receiving support, as advances, worth up to 100 per cent of a claimant’s indicative award, are available, if required and a two week ‘transitional housing payment’ is available to those claimants who were receiving Housing Benefit before they moved onto Universal Credit.</p><p>In many cases where full payment is not made on time, it is due to unresolved issues such as: claimants not accepting their Claimant Commitment or passing identity checks, or having outstanding verification issues, such as housing costs and self-employed earnings. In order to support claimants to claim, we have taken steps to improve verification processes. For example, we have listened to feedback and built processes into the system to make it easier and quicker for people to verify their housing costs, for example through the landlord portal.</p><p>The table below shows the number and proportion of UC New Claims where full payment/part payment was made within 6 weeks of the claim being submitted.</p><p>These figures relate to New Claims where the first payment was due in November 2018.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Waited more than 6 weeks from declaration for any UC payment</p></td><td><p>As a proportion of all payments due this month</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cardiff South and Penarth</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Vale of Glamorgan</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>4%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>310</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 28/03/2019 16:25:47 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
