Universal Credit (30 January 2019)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the High Court decision in R (Johnson, Woods, Barrett and Stewart) v SSWP CO/1552/2018, what recent estimate she has made of the number of claimants that have received less money as a result of the incorrect interpretations of the Regulations relating to universal credit’s assessment periods.

Asked by:
Anna McMorrin (Labour)

The Department is carefully considering the High Court’s Judgment and it is therefore not appropriate to comment further at this stage.
