To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether financial allowances received by elected local councillors count towards the Universal Credit work allowance.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether financial allowances received by elected local councillors count towards the Universal Credit work allowance.
Allowances paid by Local Authorities to councillors for their official duties are earnings and are treated as such in the calculation of any Universal Credit award. All earnings, above any applicable work allowance, are subject to the 55% taper and the Universal Credit award is calculated on that basis.
The Universal Credit work allowance is an amount of earnings eligible households can earn before the single taper rate is applied to their earnings and their Universal Credit begins to be reduced. Those councillors with responsibility for a child or qualifying young person, and/or limited capability for work will be eligible for a work allowance.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what guidance his Department has issued to Jobcentre Plus advisers about clients on jobseeker's allowance who are also elected councillors.

There is no specific guidance issued to Jobcentre advisers about claimants who are also elected councillors. However, guidance is available for Department for Work and Pensions staff who process jobseeker's allowance (JSA) payments to claimants who are also elected councillors. This guidance is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate. Guidance is also available for Department for Work and Pensions Decision Makers.
Claimants are not considered to be in remunerative work for the time spent undertaking their duties as a councillor. They are still expected to comply with JSA conditionality, including being available for and actively seeking work of at least 40 hours a week.
