Universal Credit advance repayments are made gradually over 12 months, and deductions are capped at 30% of claimants\u2019 standard allowance. This is further to the reduction of the overall maximum level of deductions from 40% to 30% of the standard allowance since October 2019.<\/p>
<\/p>
From October 2021, the repayment period will be extended from 12 months to 24 months and the reduction of the deductions cap from 30% to 25%.<\/p>
<\/p>
For those who find themselves in unexpected hardship, advance repayments can be deferred for up to three months in certain cases.<\/p>
<\/p>
For Universal Credit payments due in February 2020, 43% (1,068,000 claims) had a deduction for an advance repayment.<\/p>
