	answer	answer answer text <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 over 2.5 million claimants, growing every month, now able to access the additional support and flexibilities it offers.</p><p> </p><p>Around 60 per cent of new claims take up an advance. Subject to some fluctuation, this rate of advance take-up has been broadly consistent over the last 12 months. As the overall Universal Credit caseload grows, we expect the volume and value of advance payments to change in correlation. This shows that claimants are being made aware of advances and are using it where they need this help.</p><p> </p><p>Information surrounding the amount spent on Universal Credit advances each month since they were introduced is shown in the table below:</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Jun-13</p></td><td><p>£1,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jul-13</p></td><td><p>£2,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aug-13</p></td><td><p>£3,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep-13</p></td><td><p>£10,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Oct-13</p></td><td><p>£10,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nov-13</p></td><td><p>£18,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dec-13</p></td><td><p>£18,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-14</p></td><td><p>£25,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feb-14</p></td><td><p>£30,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mar-14</p></td><td><p>£47,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Apr-14</p></td><td><p>£42,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>May-14</p></td><td><p>£36,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jun-14</p></td><td><p>£34,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jul-14</p></td><td><p>£33,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aug-14</p></td><td><p>£48,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep-14</p></td><td><p>£133,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Oct-14</p></td><td><p>£153,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nov-14</p></td><td><p>£203,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dec-14</p></td><td><p>£278,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-15</p></td><td><p>£360,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feb-15</p></td><td><p>£371,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mar-15</p></td><td><p>£607,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Apr-15</p></td><td><p>£574,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>May-15</p></td><td><p>£1,050,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jun-15</p></td><td><p>£1,061,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jul-15</p></td><td><p>£1,261,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aug-15</p></td><td><p>£1,605,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep-15</p></td><td><p>£1,786,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Oct-15</p></td><td><p>£1,762,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nov-15</p></td><td><p>£2,081,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dec-15</p></td><td><p>£2,171,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-16</p></td><td><p>£2,736,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feb-16</p></td><td><p>£2,642,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mar-16</p></td><td><p>£4,080,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Apr-16</p></td><td><p>£3,801,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>May-16</p></td><td><p>£3,996,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jun-16</p></td><td><p>£3,827,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jul-16</p></td><td><p>£4,438,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aug-16</p></td><td><p>£4,629,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep-16</p></td><td><p>£4,817,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Oct-16</p></td><td><p>£4,801,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nov-16</p></td><td><p>£4,879,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dec-16</p></td><td><p>£5,452,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-17</p></td><td><p>£6,062,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feb-17</p></td><td><p>£5,601,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mar-17</p></td><td><p>£7,876,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Apr-17</p></td><td><p>£6,847,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>May-17</p></td><td><p>£7,051,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jun-17</p></td><td><p>£6,873,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jul-17</p></td><td><p>£7,367,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aug-17</p></td><td><p>£8,002,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep-17</p></td><td><p>£8,396,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Oct-17</p></td><td><p>£9,363,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nov-17</p></td><td><p>£12,130,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dec-17</p></td><td><p>£13,254,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-18</p></td><td><p>£25,685,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feb-18</p></td><td><p>£24,977,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mar-18</p></td><td><p>£25,721,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Apr-18</p></td><td><p>£25,934,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>May-18</p></td><td><p>£28,812,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jun-18</p></td><td><p>£32,678,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jul-18</p></td><td><p>£43,321,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aug-18</p></td><td><p>£46,636,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep-18</p></td><td><p>£44,778,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Oct-18</p></td><td><p>£55,693,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nov-18</p></td><td><p>£62,991,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dec-18</p></td><td><p>£58,697,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan-19</p></td><td><p>£75,758,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feb-19</p></td><td><p>£79,955,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mar-19</p></td><td><p>£91,646,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Apr-19</p></td><td><p>£91,957,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>May-19</p></td><td><p>£103,096,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><ol><li>Figures are rounded to the nearest £1000.</li><li>Figures go up to May 2019 in line with published statistics relating to households on Universal Credit.</li><li>Figures include all types of advances.</li><li>Figures prior to April 2019 include hardship payments made under Universal Credit live service.</li></ol> question first answered 31/10/2019 17:40:15 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
