Notes: Data Source: Universal Credit weekly Move to UC tracker file at 19/11/2025. Figures are at the individual claimant level, so will be greater than the number of households. Figures are the number of claimants who have received a Move to Universal Credit notification, but have yet to make a UC claim and have not had their claim stopped or a claim pending, as of 19/11/2025. There are a number of cases that have not yet received a Move to Universal Credit notification as of 19/11/2025. These are not included in the figures. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10 and totals may not sum due to rounding. Figures below 5 are marked as *.
