Claims which are paid on time will receive payment by the payment due date, which is 7 days after an Assessment Period ends.<\/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, satisfying the Habitual Residency Test, or having outstanding verification issues, such as housing costs and self-employed earnings.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> We plan to publish updated official statistics on the number of Universal Credit claims that have been paid on time. This data is currently going through quality assurance clearance procedures in line with the Official Statistics publication standard.<\/p> <\/p>"}
