We recently consulted on the proposal to increase the rate of rent arrears deductions in Universal Credit. We are currently considering the consultation responses.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Deductions from Universal Credit are made after considering the claimant\u2019s individual circumstances and ability to afford the deductions. The maximum that can be deducted for all deductions, including rent arrears, is an amount equivalent to 40 per cent of the claimant\u2019s Universal Credit Standard Allowance. The government will ensure that appropriate support is available to help claimants manage moving to a single monthly household payment, including budgeting and debt management advice.<\/p>
