<p>Universal Credit is now the main system of working age welfare support across the
country. It is available in every Jobcentre, with a caseload of 2.8 million claimants,
growing every month, now able to access the additional support and flexibilities it
offers.</p><p>Between December 2018 to November 2019, 1,996,000 claimants received
an advance payment.</p><p>As the overall Universal Credit caseload grows, we expect
the volume and value of advance payments to increase in correlation. This shows that
claimants are being made aware of advances and are using it where they need this help.</p>
