Universal Credit

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many sanctions on universal credit claimants were successfully appealed at independent tribunals in 2018-19.

Answer

Statistics on the volume and outcomes of Universal Credit sanction appeal decisions for Live Service claimants are published and can be found at:

Guidance for users is available at:

The numbers for full service claimants are not readily available and we anticipate this would incur disproportionate costs.
