Universal Credit: Housing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people under 21 years old have claimed housing support entitlement as part of universal credit since the ending of means testing for that component in March 2018.
- Answer
-
The housing costs element, in line with all other elements in Universal Credit, has always been subject to means testing for all Universal Credit claimants.
Numbers of people under 21 years claiming housing support entitlement as part of Universal Credit since March 2018 is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
