PhD student hit with £17,000 bill by DWP after universal credit error

Widowed mother may have to drop her studies as the DWP seeks to claw back its overpayments

A PhD student has been told by Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) the she owes more than £17,000 in overpaid benefits because of mistakes it made when assessing her claim for universal credit.

Vikki Reid, who is in her mid-3os and widowed with an eight-year-old child, applied for the benefit when she started her research in 2019. She supplied full details of her course and the stipend she had been granted by the university, and had no reason to believe anything was wrong when she was told she was entitled to receive £1,316 a month. She lives in Cornwall where rents are high, so her application included help with her housing costs.

Two years later, however, she was told that she had been overpaid and presented with a bill for £17,233. Her universal credit entitlement was set to fall by 50% a month, and the sum she receives was to be cut further as the DWP started to claw back the cash it admits it paid her as a result of its own mistakes.

“The errors that were made were all on their side,” she says. “We will be below the poverty line. I don’t think I can justify the stress and emotional effort of doing the PhD if that is the case.”

Universal credit was introduced in 2013 and rolled out to replace a number of other payments, including income support and other in-work benefits. Currently payments include a £20 uplift that is set to end in the autumn .

The standard allowance for a single person aged over 25 is currently £411 a month, and there are extra payments of up to £282 a month each available for a family’s first two children. On top of this, there is a housing element available to help towards rent. Other income and savings are taken into account when a claim is made, and monthly payments can be adjusted as a result.

Reid’s PhD working on renewable energy at the University of Exeter brings with it a stipend to cover expenses from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, which, based on her hours, is worth £11,500 a year. When her application for benefits was processed, the whole payment seems to have been disregarded.

No one noticed until, last autumn, Reid notified the DWP that she was dropping her hours because she could not get enough childcare to work as normal. This prompted a review of her claim and a letter saying that between January and December last year she had been overpaid by just under £1,600.

At this point she was told that 30% of her stipend should have been taken into account, and that she owed several months’ overpayments of £145 a time.

With the help of her dad, Reid appealed against this. But there was worse to come. The new assessor decided that the second assessment was also incorrect. In a lengthy document explaining their decision, the assessor said “there appears to be a misunderstanding” and “your stipend is to be treated as a grant for UC purposes”. Under the rules, this means that the whole payment has to be counted, after tuition fees and a £110 a month allowance for books and travel.

The assessor wrote: “I acknowledge that you did supply evidence with respect to your student income in an appropriate time but due to an administrative error, your student income was not calculated and included in your UC award.”

Reid is not alone in facing a bill for overpayments. Between July 2020 and the end of June this year, advisers at the charity Citizens Advice heard from more than 3,500 people who needed help with benefits overpayments. During the same period, there were more than 50,000 views of its website pages dedicated to the subject.

Unlike with previous benefits, the DWP can recover overpaid universal credit even if it is to blame for the error, although Treasury guidelines do allow it to opt not to in exceptional circumstances. Recovery is done through cuts to monthly benefits payments, taking money directly from an employee’s wages, or a court order.

Citizens Advice says it has seen cases of universal credit overpayments where notification came completely out of the blue. In one instance, a single parent who was already in debt and using food vouchers was told they owed £500 but not why, and they struggled to contact the DWP.

Rachel Ingleby, a benefits expert at Citizens Advice, says in most cases, the DWP will try to recoup money for a universal credit overpayment via a deduction. “This means they’ll reduce the amount of benefits you’re paid each month until the debt is repaid,” she says.

“Of course, when deductions come out of the blue, that can make it really hard for people to manage their money.”

For Reid, who is not entitled to widowed parents’ benefit because her husband had not built up enough national insurance contributions before he died, the impact of the new decision is devastating.

She thinks her total monthly income will fall by 35% but, despite being told on 9 June that her entitlement would be reconsidered with a matter of urgency, she has not been told what she will get. “I’m still left in limbo, waiting to find out what will happen,” she says.

She is already struggling to find childcare, as Covid has limited her options, and has travel costs to face to complete her research. “I would cycle [to university],” she says, “but that would take longer and mean more childcare costs.

“I will definitely have to leave my PhD if my income is reduced to the basic universal credit entitlement for someone with one child. I am so devastated by this, I did absolutely nothing wrong, but me and my child will have to pay. We already pay the burden of being a widowed-parent family.”

After Guardian Money got in touch, DWP said it would look again at Reid’s situation.

A spokesperson said: “We have paused the repayment activity and are carrying out a further review of this claim. We are in contact with Ms Reid and will advise and support her through this process.”

The DWP says the overwhelming majority of benefits are paid correctly and on time, and that there are official errors in less than 1% of cases.

It says seeks to recover any overpayments without creating financial hardship, and that those who are struggling can contact its debt management unit. It says if the repayment rate it proposes is too high, a lower rate can be discussed.

Reid says she will continue with tribunal action to get the decision overturned, but she is relieved that her case is being looked at again.

“I don’t think any one person at universal credit or the DWP is out to cause poverty and inflict misery, but the policy doesn’t consider individuals, or treat us as people with lives,” she says. “The system is a poverty trap, and written into the law now is the fact the people who are poor enough to need benefits, have to pay when the DWP makes a mistake, however big or small.”

How does the DWP recoup money from benefits overpayments?

Citizens Advice can help if you have been hit with a bill for overpayments. Here is how the system works:

The DWP has discretion over how it recovers overpayments, and how much.

Overpayments of universal credit are often recovered via deductions to future universal credit payments.

The maximum amount that can be deducted is 25% of the universal credit standard allowance, DWP says.

Citizens Advice says, in practice, deductions tend to be taken at 30%, 25% or 15% of the standard allowance, with 30% normally the rate if a person is found guilty of an offence or has accepted a penalty in connection with the overpayment.

The DWP can reduce the amount of the debt it recovers each month if someone is experiencing financial hardship as a result. Citizens Advice says it can support people with this process.

Universal Credit and students

You cannot usually get Universal Credit if you are studying full-time. There are some exceptions

Studying full-time

You may be able to get Universal Credit if you are studying full-time and any of the following apply:

• you’re aged 21 or under, in full-time  non-advanced education
• and do not have parental support
• you are responsible for a child
• you live with your partner and they are eligible for Universal Credit
• you have reached the  qualifying age for Pension Credit
• and live with a partner who is under that age
• Personal Independence Payment
• Disability Living Allowance
• Attendance Allowance
• Armed Forces Independence Payment

You may also be able to get Universal Credit if you’re studying in full-time  non-advanced education , you do not get a student loan or maintenance grant and you are available for work. If the course is more than 12 hours a week, this only applies from 1 September following your 19th birthday. This is because your parents can claim benefits for you before that date.

You may be asked to provide evidence of the course you are doing .

Aged 21 or under, in non-advanced education and do not have parental support

This includes if you have left care provided by the local council or you are without parental support.

You may be eligible for Universal Credit if :

• you’re on a full-time course of  non-advanced education  or training that started before you reached age 21
• you reach age 21 while you are on the course

You can continue to get Universal Credit until:

the end of the academic year in which you reach age 21

the end of the course, if it ends before you reach age 21 You are responsible for a child

The child may be adopted or a foster child.

For couples, one of you or both of you may be a student.

What counts as a full-time course

The education or training provider usually decides whether a course is full-time.

If you attend a full-time course on a part-time basis, you will be treated as studying full-time.

A course is an arrangement of study, tuition or training. It can be academic, practical, or a combination of both. It is usually done at, or by arrangement with, an education or training provider.

It will often lead to a qualification when it is completed. Some non-advanced study, tuition or training, may not lead to a qualification. This does not mean that it is not a course.

Examples of full-time courses of advanced education

Full-time courses of advanced education include those leading to:

• a postgraduate degree or comparable qualification
• a first degree or comparable qualification
• a diploma of higher education
• a higher national diploma
• advanced GNVQ or equivalent
• a Scottish higher or advanced higher national qualification

Examples of full-time courses of non-advanced education

Non-advanced education is any qualification up to A Level, or equivalent. Full-time courses include:

• National Qualification Framework level 3 or the Scottish Qualification framework level 6
• General Certificate of Education Advanced level (A Level)
• Advanced Diploma
• National Diploma, Certificate or Award
• Level 3 NVQ, Award, Certificate or Diploma

Studying part-time study

• You may be able to get Universal Credit if you are available for work and studying part time.
• If the course is more than 12 hours a week  non-advanced education , this only applies from 1 September following your 19th birthday. This is because your parents can claim benefits for you before that date.
• You may be asked to provide evidence of the course you are doing.

Student income and your Universal Credit

Your student income can affect how much Universal Credit you get.

Universal Credit is usually paid once a month and is based on your circumstances during that month. This is called your ‘assessment period’.

For each assessment period that you attend the course, an amount for any student income you get will be taken off your Universal Credit. The amount is worked out from the actual student income you get that month less a set amount for expenses.

However, no student income will be taken off your Universal Credit if:

• the assessment period covers the first day of the summer holidays
• you are on summer holiday for the whole of a subsequent assessment period
• your course ends during the assessment period

Student loans

• You may be entitled to Universal Credit if you receive a student loan. There are different types of student loans and there are different rules depending on which loan you receive.
• When working out your Universal Credit, any loan amount that is intended to cover tuition fees and other costs of study will be excluded.
• Loans that cover maintenance, such as living expenses, rent and bills, will be deducted from your Universal Credit. Most loans pay tuition and maintenance in separate payments.
• However, if you receive a Special Support Loan or Grant, this will not be deducted from your Universal Credit. This provides help towards costs of study, such as for books, equipment, travel etc.

Special Support Loan or Grant

You may get a Special Support Loan or Grant if you get or qualify for:

• Income Support
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Housing Benefit
• the housing element of Universal Credit

You may get the Special Support Loan or Grant if, for example, you are a lone parent or have certain disabilities.

If you live in England the Special Support Grant was replaced by the Special Support Loan from the beginning of the 2016 to 2017 academic year. If you live in Wales, it is called a Special Support Grant.

You will be told if you can get the Loan or Grant when you apply for student finance.

If you receive a loan that pays maintenance and tuition in a single payment, for example a Postgraduate Master’s Degree Loan, a proportion of your loan will be excluded from your Universal Credit payment and the rest is deducted.

Postgraduate Master’s Loan

A Postgraduate Master’s Loan can help with course fees and living costs while you study a postgraduate master’s course.

Funding for postgraduate loans is different if you normally live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. Moving somewhere to study does not count as normally living there.

Postgraduate Doctoral Loan

A Postgraduate Doctoral Loan can help with course fees and living costs while you study a postgraduate doctoral course, such as a PhD.

Funding for a Postgraduate Doctoral Loan is different if you normally live in Wales.

The Postgraduate Master’s and Doctoral loans are paid as one payment in 3 instalments over each year of the course and are all treated the same way when working out your Universal Credit. They are all a contribution to both living costs and tuition fees.

When working out your Universal Credit, 30% of the loan will be taken into account and the rest will be excluded.

If you are a full-time higher education student, you may be able to get a non-repayable grant from the government to help with accommodation and other living costs. There are also other types of grants that can help with things like childcare, tuition fees or examination fees. If you are in receipt of Universal Credit and you receive a student grant, it will be fully excluded from the calculation if the grant is for the following:

• tuition and examination fees
• your disability
• expenses for residential study away from an educational establishment
• living away from your usual place of study
• maintenance of dependent adult
• books and equipment
• travel expenses
• childcare costs

Claimant commitment

• To be able to get Universal Credit, everyone has to agree to a claimant commitment.
• If you are claiming Universal Credit as a student who has taken time out from your course, you may be expected to take some actions as part of your claimant commitment. You will have to talk with your work coach to find out.
• If you are claiming Universal Credit as a student under 21 doing a course that leads to qualifications up to A level standard, you will not have to do anything under your claimant commitment.
• If you are claiming Universal Credit as a student and you receive student income such as a grant or loan, you will not have to do anything under your claimant commitment.

Even if you do not fall into either of these two groups, you might not have to do anything under the normal rules on claimant commitments.

CALCULATING STUDENT INCOME

UC is paid for an ‘assessment period’ of one month. Student income counts as income in assessment periods that fall during the course, as well as in the assessment period in which the course, and any subsequent year of the course, begins. Student income is ignored in the assessment period in which the end of the course or the start of the long vacation falls. The long vacation is the longest holiday, lasting at least a month, in a course which is at least two years long. Student income is also ignored in any other assessment period that falls completely within the long vacation.

In each assessment period, £110 of student income is disregarded.

To work out how much of your student income is taken into account:

Step one:  calculate your annual loan or grant or, if the course lasts for less than a year, the amount of loan or grant for the course.

Step two:  work out how many assessment periods apply for that year, or for the course if it is less than a year long.

Step three:  divide the amount from Step one by the number of assessment periods in Step two.

Step four:  deduct £110.

Claire gets a student loan of £10,815 in total. This includes a special support element of £4,014, which is disregarded, leaving £6,801. Year one of her course runs from 27th September 2021 to 13th May 2022. Her assessment periods run from the 20th of the month to the 19th of the following month. Her loan counts as income for seven assessment periods.

£6,801 ÷ 7 = £971.57

£971.57 - £110 = £861.57

Claire’s UC is calculated on student income of £861.57 a month from 20th September 2021 to 19th April 2022.

Check how much Universal Credit you'll get

This advice applies to England. See advice for See advice for Northern Ireland , See advice for Scotland , See advice for Wales

It's hard to work out your exact Universal Credit amount, but you can get a general idea by following the steps on this page. 

Talk to an adviser if you want to get an exact amount or use a benefit calculator .

Before working out how much you can get, you should check if you’re eligible for Universal Credit .

There are 5 steps to work out how much you can get:

look up your standard amount

work out what other amounts you can get , like housing or childcare - these are called 'elements'

make reductions for your income and savings

check if you’re affected by the Benefit Cap

take off sanctions or other reductions

Everyone who gets Universal Credit gets a ‘standard amount’ - the exact amount you’ll get depends on your age and if you have a partner.

You’ll sometimes get money added to your standard amount - this depends on your situation. For example, you’ll get more if you have children or have housing costs. These extra amounts are called elements. 

The amount you’ll get will change if you have any income or savings. Your payment will change each month if you earn a different amount, or if your situation changes.

Cost of Living Payments

The government sent the last Cost of Living Payment of £299 during spring 2024. They haven’t announced any more payments.

You should have got the Cost of Living payment of £299 between 6 and 22 February 2024. To get the payment you must have been paid Universal Credit for an assessment period ending between 13 November and 12 December 2023.

You should still have got the payment even if your Universal Credit was paid to your landlord or if you didn’t get paid because of deductions.

If you didn’t get the last payment

If you think you should have received a Cost of Living Payment, you can report a missing payment on GOV.UK .

If you’re still waiting for a decision about your claim

If you started a Universal Credit claim by 13 November 2023 and you're waiting for a decision, you can still get the Cost of Living Payment. You won't get it until your claim is successful.

1. Look up your standard amount

Your standard amount depends on your age and if you live with a partner. If you live with a partner you'll have a joint claim and get one shared payment.

You should tell the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) if you move in with or split up with your partner - your next payment will be different. Find out more about reporting changes that affect your Universal Credit .

To work out how much you can get, start with your standard amount and add any additional amounts - like housing or childcare.

2. Work out what other amounts you can get

You can have extra amounts added to your standard amount for:

You can also get them if:

the DWP have told you to move to Universal Credit from other benefits - called ‘managed migration’

you can’t work because of sickness or disability

you used to get a severe disability premium (SDP)

you’re caring for someone

These extra amounts are called elements and you can get more than 1 of them. They're added to your standard amount.

If you’re paying rent, mortgage or service charge

The housing costs element might pay some or all of your rent or service charge. 

To get the housing element you need to pay the housing costs for where you live.

If you have a mortgage or home loan you might be able to  get a loan to help pay your interest  - this is separate from Universal Credit.

If you pay rent to a council or housing association

To work out your housing element you need to:

check what your room allowance is 

take off amounts for people who live with you

You can  check your room allowance  on GOV.UK unless:

you or someone you live with has a disability or is a foster carer

you live with 5 or more people

Talk to an adviser  to check your room allowance.

If you live in a property that’s the same size or smaller than the number of bedrooms you’re eligible for, your housing element will cover all your rent. For example - if your room allowance is 2 bedrooms and you live in a 2-bedroom property, your housing element will cover all your rent.

If you have 1 more bedroom than you’re entitled to, your housing element will be reduced by 14%. If you have 2 or more bedrooms more than you’re entitled to, your housing element amount will be reduced by 25%. 

Your housing element might also be reduced by £91.47 each month for every ‘non-dependant’ who lives with you. A non-dependant is someone who’s expected to pay their own share of rent. Non-dependants are often parents, grown children, friends and relatives - but not your partner. 

Campbell rents from the council and is claiming Universal Credit. They live with their 30-year-old son and pay £433.33 a month in rent.

They’re entitled to 2 bedrooms and live in a 3-bedroom flat. There’s 1 spare bedroom so their housing costs element is reduced by 14% - £60.67. 

Campbell’s son is living with them so there’s a further deduction of £91.47. Their housing element will now be £281.19 a month.

If you pay rent to a private landlord 

The amount you’ll get will depend on how many people you live with and the Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rate for your area. You won’t be paid more than your LHA rate even if your rent is more. 

To work out your housing element, you need to:

check what your LHA rate is

You can check your room allowance on GOV.UK. If you or someone you live with has a disability or is a foster carer, you might get an increase in your room allowance.  Talk to an adviser  to check your room allowance.

When you know your room allowance,  check what your LHA rate is  on GOV.UK. The calculator will ask when your Housing Benefit claim starts - answer with the date your Universal Credit claim starts. 

If your rent is less than your LHA rate, your housing element will cover all your rent. If it’s more, you’ll be paid your LHA rate. For example - if your LHA rate is £950 and your rent is £1050, you’ll be paid £950.

Your housing element might also be reduced by £91.47 each month for every ‘non-dependant’ who lives with you. A non-dependant is someone who lives with you and who’s expected to pay their own share of rent. Non-dependants are often parents, grown children, friends and relatives - but not your partner. 

Lisa pays £1,200 a month in rent. They live in a 2-bedroom flat with their partner and a 25-year-old daughter. They use the GOV.UK bedroom calculator and work out their room allowance is 2 bedrooms. 

They then use the GOV.UK LHA calculator to find out the LHA rate in their area - for someone with a 2 bedroom room allowance it’s £1,058.64 a month. 

They live with their adult daughter and so need to make a non-dependant deduction of £91.47. 

Their housing element will therefore be £967.17.

What the housing element won't pay for

You can't get housing element for:

debts if you're behind on your rent on your current or previous home

a care home

ground rent - a fee you pay to the leaseholder of your property

If you're in temporary or emergency housing

You'll need to  claim Housing Benefit  if you're having to live away from your usual home. For example, you might be paying for a shelter after experiencing domestic abuse.

You'll keep getting Universal Credit, but you'll get a separate Housing Benefit payment rather than the Universal Credit housing element.

If you're in a shared ownership scheme

You'll normally be paying a mortgage and rent. Universal Credit can help with your rent, but not your mortgage. You'll need to see if you can  get a loan to help with your mortgage interest .

If you already get an element for managed migration or an SDP

Your Universal Credit payment might not go up by the whole amount of the housing element. This is because your migration or SDP element will go down at the same time. Talk to an adviser to find out how your payments will change.

Getting more help with housing costs

You can  get help with private renting costs  or  help with the rent for your council home .

You might be able to get extra money from the council if you're behind on your payments or your housing element doesn't cover all your rent.

If you have children

You'll get the child element added to your standard amount if you're responsible for a child who normally lives with you. You'll get extra amounts for a second child. If you have more than 2 children, you’ll only get extra money if they were born before 6 April 2017.

If any of your children are disabled and getting Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Child Disability Payment or Adult Disability Payment, you’ll also get extra money for them.

Someone is a child up to their 16th birthday. After this they’re a 'qualifying young person' until 31 August after their 16th birthday.

They’ll remain a qualifying young person until 31 August following their 19th birthday if they're in full-time non-advanced education - for example, at school or college. 

You’ll still get a child element for a qualifying young person.

If you’re a foster carer, you can’t get the child element of Universal Credit for anyone you’re fostering. You can still get the child element of Universal Credit for other children who are living with you.

Getting a payment for 3 or more children

You'll usually only get an additional payment for 3 or more children if they were born before 6 April 2017.

There are some exceptions - you might still get a payment for 3 or more children if:

you have a multiple birth, like twins - if you have 2 or more other children you won't get a payment for the first child in a multiple birth

you've adopted a child from the UK (unless you were the child's step-parent immediately before adopting them)

you're caring for someone else's child in a formal care arrangement

you’re caring for someone else’s child in an informal care arrangement where otherwise they’d be in care

you have a child from a pregnancy that was from rape or a controlling relationship - find out how to report this and get help if you need it

you're responsible for a child under 16 who has their own child and they both live with you

You can check the exceptions and how to apply for them on GOV.UK.

Your Universal Credit payment might not go up by the whole amount of the child element. This is because your migration or SDP element will go down at the same time.  Talk to an adviser  to find out how your payments will change.

If any of your children are disabled

You'll get a disability payment if any of your children are disabled. You won't be affected by a maximum total amount you can get from benefits - called the 'benefit cap'. 

There are 2 different disabled child elements. You’ll either get:

a disabled child element

a severely disabled child element

The severely disabled child element is £487.58 a month. You'll get this element for any child who is:

registered blind

entitled to the highest rate of the care component of Disability Living Allowance

entitled to the enhanced rate of the daily living component of Personal Independence Payment

entitled to the highest rate of the care component of Child Disability Payment

entitled to the enhanced rate of the daily living component of Adult Disability Payment 

If you can't get the severely disabled child element, you might be able to get the disabled child element. This is £156.11 a month. You'll get this element for any children entitled to:

Disability Living Allowance without the highest rate of the care component

Personal Independence Payment without the enhanced rate of the daily living component

Child Disability Payment without the highest rate of the care component

Adult Disability Payment without the enhanced rate of the daily living component

You can get 1 element for each child who is disabled - it doesn't matter how many children you have.

If you already get an element for managed migration or an SDP, your Universal Credit payment might not go up by the whole amount of the disabled child element. This is because your migration or SDP element will go down at the same time. Talk to an adviser to find out how your payments will change.

If you pay for childcare

You’ll only be paid 85% of your childcare costs. The most you can get for childcare is £1,014.63 a month for 1 child or £1,739.37 a month for 2 or more. You can't get this if your childcare provider isn't registered or if your employer pays your childcare for you.

Katie is starting work in the next month. They have 2 children and pay £800 a month for childcare. They’ll have 85% of their childcare costs covered - £680. This will be added to their Universal Credit amount.

You can claim childcare costs if you:

are in paid work

are starting paid work in the next month

left a job less than a month ago

are getting statutory sick pay

are on statutory maternity pay, Maternity Allowance or any other kind of statutory parental pay 

You’re eligible for the childcare element for a child up to 31 August after their 16th birthday.

If you're living with your partner you'll both need to be working to get childcare costs - unless your partner can't provide childcare because they:

have  limited capability for work

are caring for a severely disabled person - they'll need to be  getting or eligible for Carer's Allowance

are temporarily away from home

If you need help with childcare costs in advance

If you need to make your first childcare payment before you get the extra amount from Universal Credit, you can ask your work coach about the Flexible Support Fund (FSF). If you get money from the FSF, you’ll still get your full Universal Credit childcare amount - as long as the DWP agree it will help you stay in work.

If you’ve been told to move to Universal Credit from other benefits

If you move to Universal Credit because you got a letter called a ‘migration notice’, the DWP might pay you extra to stop you being worse off. This is called ‘transitional protection’.

You can only get transitional protection if you’ve had an official migration notice from the DWP, and you claim by the deadline. If you’re not sure what letter you have, check if your letter is a migration notice .

Transitional protection means that:

if you’d get less on Universal Credit than your old benefits, you’ll get an extra amount to make up the difference - called a ‘transitional element’

if you’re a full-time student who wouldn’t usually get Universal Credit, you can usually get it until the end of your course

if you get tax credits and have over £16,000 savings, you can get Universal Credit for up to a year

The transitional element will reduce over time. When some other parts of your Universal Credit payment increase, your transitional element will decrease by the same amount. This means your overall Universal Credit payment that month might not increase.

Your transitional element will end if either:

it’s reduced to £0

you move in with your partner, or split up with them

Your transitional element might also end if your income falls below a certain amount for 3 months in a row. This will happen if:

you’re single and earned at least £743 a month when you first claimed Universal Credit

you have a partner and earned at least £1,189 a month together when you first claimed Universal Credit

If your income falls below that amount for 3 months in a row, your transitional element will end.

If you're sick or disabled

You might get an extra payment if you have a health condition that means you can't work. You'll need to show that you have 'limited capability for work' (LCW) or 'limited capability for work-related activity' (LCWRA) .

If you and your partner are both sick or disabled you’ll only get 1 extra payment. 

Unless you have a joint claim, you can't get the element for sickness or disability and the carer element – you’ll get whichever is higher.

If you have a joint claim you can get both the element for sickness or disability and the carer element - but only if you’re eligible for one and your partner is eligible for the other. For example, you’ll get both elements if you’re eligible for the sick or disability element and your partner is eligible for the carer element.

How much you'll get

If you have LCWRA you'll get an extra £416.19 a month, and the DWP won't set a maximum amount for what you can get in benefits - called the 'Benefit Cap'.

If you already get an element for managed migration or an SDP, your Universal Credit payment might not go up by the whole amount of the LCWRA element. This is because your migration or SDP element will go down at the same time.  Talk to an adviser  to find out how your payments will change.

If you have LCW, you won't normally get extra money. The exception is that you'll get an extra £156.11 each month if you've been sick since before 3 April 2017 and the DWP have already said you have LCW. This could have been for Universal Credit or Employment and Support Allowance.

When you'll get the extra amount

You'll usually start getting the extra payment in your fourth or fifth payment after you give the DWP evidence that you have LCWRA. If it takes longer for the DWP to decide, they'll backdate your payment so you don't lose out.

In some situations you might get the extra amount in your next Universal Credit payment. This includes if you:

are terminally ill and your health professional says you might not live more than a year

previously had Universal Credit with an LCW or LCWRA element and the award ended within the last 6 months because you had too much income 

get ESA with the support or work-related activity component, or got it at the time you claimed Universal Credit 

You might also get the extra amount in your next payment if you were assessed as having LCW or LCWRA as part of an ESA claim and you were on a 'credit-only claim' when you claimed Universal Credit. This means you were only getting National Insurance (NI) credits.

If you got a severe disability premium (SDP) in the month before you applied for Universal Credit

You might get an extra amount in your Universal Credit - it depends if you’ve had a ‘migration notice’. A migration notice is a letter telling you to claim Universal Credit by a certain deadline.

If you’ve had a migration notice telling you to move to Universal Credit, the DWP will usually include your premium and SDP when they work out your transitional element.

If you haven’t had a migration notice

You can get an extra amount in your Universal Credit - this is called the ‘SDP transitional element’.

You should get the SDP transitional element if you were getting an SDP with:

income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)

income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

Income Support

the lower rate disabled child element with Child Tax Credit

You’ll get the SDP transitional element if you apply for Universal Credit within a month after you stop getting the benefit with the SDP. You must also still meet the qualifying conditions for the SDP on the date that your Universal Credit award starts.

You won’t get the SDP transitional element if either:

the only benefit you got the SDP with was Housing Benefit

you start living with a partner who is claiming Universal Credit

If you’re not sure if you were getting an SDP, check your benefits letters. If you’re still not sure, contact whoever paid the benefit - you can find the contact details in your benefits letters.

If you also got a disability premium with your benefit

You can get an extra amount on top of your SDP transitional element if you got the SDP and one of the following with your benefit:

a disability premium

an enhanced disability premium

a child disability premium or disabled child element

If you applied for Universal Credit before 14 February 2024, you wouldn't have got this extra amount. You’ll get a back payment, but the DWP haven’t decided when this will happen yet. We'll update our advice when the DWP announces how they'll send the payments.

Check how much SDP transitional element you'll get

In your first assessment period, the amount you’ll get will depend on your situation. If you’re in more than one of these situations, you’ll get whichever amount is higher.

If your first Universal Credit assessment period started on or after 29 June 2023

If you or your partner has a carer, the rules are more complicated. You won't get the higher amount of £475.79 if your carer started getting either of the following in your first assessment period:

Carer’s Allowance

the carer element of Universal Credit

You’ll get one of the lower amounts instead, depending on whether your claim includes the limited capability for work-related activity element.

If your first Universal Credit assessment period started before 29 June 2023

If your first Universal Credit assessment period began on or after 10 April 2023, you’ll get the new amount of SDP transitional element.

If you were already getting Universal Credit before 10 April 2023, you’ll get the old amount of SDP transitional element and this won’t go up.

If your other Universal Credit elements increase

The DWP will reduce your transitional element if your other Universal Credit elements increase. This doesn't apply to the childcare element - it won't affect your transitional element.

Campbell's housing costs element is £400 and he also gets the new transitional element of £140.97. He moves to a different property and his housing costs element increases to £450 - his transitional element will reduce by £50 to £90.97.

Talk to an adviser  if you’re not sure you’re getting the right amount.

If you're a carer

You'll get an extra £198.31 a month added to your standard amount if you look after a severely disabled person for at least 35 hours a week.

It's worth telling the person you look after about your claim - they could lose some of their benefits if you get the extra amount.

If the person you’re caring for gets a benefit with a Severe Disability Premium 

The person you’re caring for might get a Severe Disability Premium (SDP) with:

income-based JSA

income-related ESA

Housing Benefit

Council Tax Support

Pension Credit

The person you’re caring for won’t be eligible for the SDP while you’re getting the carer element of Universal Credit. 

Always check with the person you’re caring for before you apply for Universal Credit. If you’re unsure what the effect claiming Universal Credit will have on someone else’s benefit claim, talk to an adviser .

You’ll only get the extra money if you look after someone without being paid and if they’re getting at least one of these benefits: 

Attendance Allowance

the standard or enhanced rate of the daily living component of Personal Independence Payment

the middle or highest rate of the care component of Disability Living Allowance

Constant Attendance Allowance paid with a war disablement pension or industrial injuries benefits

Armed Forces Independence Payment

the standard or enhanced rate of the daily living component of Adult Disability Payment

the middle or highest rate of the care component of Child Disability Payment

If you already get Carer’s Allowance you can still get the carer element. Your Carer’s Allowance will count as ‘unearned income.’ This means your Carer’s Allowance payments will be taken off your Universal Credit payments. 

It's worth getting Carer's Allowance as well as Universal Credit. Carer's Allowance is paid more often than Universal Credit, and if your Universal Credit payments are stopped, you'll still get your Carer's Allowance payment.

Unless you have a joint claim, you can't get both the carer element and the element for sickness or disability - you’ll get whichever is higher.

If you have a joint claim you can get both the carer element and the element for sickness or disability - but only if you’re eligible for one and your partner is eligible for the other. For example, you’ll get both elements if you’re eligible for the carer element and your partner is eligible for the sick or disability element.

If you have a joint claim and you and your partner care for different people, you'll get 2 carer elements.

If someone else is caring for the same person as you for at least 35 hours a week, you can't both get benefits for caring for them. Only one of you can get Carer's Allowance or the carer element.

Your Universal Credit payment might not go up by the whole amount of the carer element. This is because your migration or SDP element will go down at the same time.  Talk to an adviser  to find out how your payments will change.

3. Check if your income or savings affects your payments

You'll get less Universal Credit if you get money from work or other places, or if you have more than £6,000 in savings or other investments - called ‘capital’.

If you have a partner you live with, their income and capital will also affect your payments.  

If you have a dependent child or anyone else living with you, their income and capital won’t affect your payments.

If you're self-employed

There are different rules for earnings if you're self-employed. Find out more about getting Universal Credit if you're self-employed .

Check the effect of your earnings from work

Your Universal Credit decreases gradually as you earn more. Each £1 you or your partner earns after income tax reduces your Universal Credit by 55p.

You can get some income without reducing your Universal Credit payment if you're responsible for a child or have limited capability for work . This is called having a 'work allowance'.

The size of your work allowance depends on whether you also get the Universal Credit housing element or Housing Benefit:

Zoe has worked out she'll get £1,400 a month from Universal Credit. She earns £900 a month after tax and needs to work out how her income affects how much she'll get.

She has a child and gets the housing element - this means she has a work allowance of £404 a month. To work out how much to take off her Universal Credit she first needs to subtract her work allowance from her monthly earnings - £900 - £404 = £496.

Each full £1 she earns after income tax reduces her Universal Credit by 55p. £496 x 0.55 = £272.80.

Her total Universal Credit payment will be reduced by £272.80 a month because of her earnings. £1,400 - £272.80 = £1127.20 - Zoe’s Universal Credit amount after the reduction because of her earnings. 

Earnings from work means all pay you take home, including:

wages and overtime

tips and commission

holiday pay

maternity, paternity, adoption or shared parental pay

You don't need to consider:

money you pay as income tax

money you pay as class 1 national insurance contributions

money you pay into a pension

mileage allowances

childcare vouchers and other non-cash vouchers

The DWP work out your earnings for each monthly Universal Credit payment, even if your job doesn't pay you monthly. You should tell the DWP if you start or leave a job - find out more about changes you should report to the DWP .

If you get an element for managed migration or an SDP, your Universal Credit payment might change if your earnings fall below a certain amount for 3 months in a row. The amount is:

£743 a month if you’re single

£1,189 a month if you’re in a couple - including your partner’s earnings

If you were already earning less than this, your Universal Credit payment won’t change.

If you earned more than this when you first claimed Universal Credit, the element for managed migration or SDP will stop. This might mean you get less money in your Universal Credit payment.

If you need help working out how your earnings affect your Universal Credit, you can talk to an adviser .

Work out if your capital makes a difference

Capital includes things like savings, property and shares. It doesn't include:

personal possessions

business assets

the home you live in

If you have more than £6,000 of capital it will reduce your Universal Credit payments. The DWP will take off £4.35 a month for each £250 (or part of £250) of capital above £6,000. For example, the DWP will take off £4.35 if you have savings of £6,001 because £1 is a part of £250. 

Niamh has £7,700 in savings. This is £1,700 over £6,000 - which is 6 full lots of £250 and one part of £250. This means their savings reduce their Universal Credit by 7 x £4.35 = £30.45 per month.

You'll usually no longer be able to get Universal Credit if you have more than £16,000 in capital.

If you have more than £16,000, you might still be able to get Universal Credit if you got tax credits and you had a letter from the DWP telling you to claim Universal Credit instead. This is called ‘managed migration’. You can check if managed migration applies to you .

Don’t get rid of your capital to try to increase your Universal Credit payments. If you do, the DWP will calculate your Universal Credit payments as if you still have the capital. This is called having ‘notional capital’. 

The DWP won't treat you as still having notional capital if:

they think you had a good reason for buying something

you used it to pay off a debt you owe, including part of your mortgage

If you need help working out how your savings and capital affect your Universal Credit, you can  talk to an adviser .

Take away some other types of income

Your Universal Credit will be reduced by the same amount you get from certain types of income. These include:

pensions or annuities

maintenance from a current or former husband, wife or civil partner (though not child maintenance - this never reduces your Universal Credit)

insurance payments

some benefits, such as Carer's Allowance, Incapacity Benefit, Maternity Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance and Jobseeker's Allowance

You don't need to take off income from some benefits, including:

Child Benefit

Disability Living Allowance

Personal Independence Payment

Bereavement Support Payment

war pensions

Adult Disability Benefit

Child Disability Benefit

Some other types of income are ignored and won’t reduce the amount of Universal Credit you’ll get. For example:

payments for looking after children - like adoption and fostering allowances, child arrangement order payments and kinship care payments

regular money from a charity

regular money from a family member

rent from a room you let in the home you live in

If your Universal Credit payment is reduced to zero

This will end your Universal Credit claim - the Jobcentre will tell you if this happens.

If your claim ends because your income increased, you might be able to get Universal Credit again if your income goes down. You’ll usually need to make a new claim.

When the Jobcentre tell you your claim is ending, check if your income might go down in the next 5 months. If your income might go down, ask the DWP to keep your claim open. If they agree, they’ll keep checking your earnings from work for the next 5 months. The DWP will restart your claim if your income goes down to an amount that means you can get some Universal Credit.

If the DWP keep your claim open, you should still tell them when your income has gone down. If you’re self-employed, keep reporting your income and expenses through your online journal.

4. Check if you’re affected by the Benefit Cap

The Benefit Cap is a limit to the total amount of money you can get from some benefits. If your Universal Credit payment is over a specific amount, the DWP might reduce it to bring it down to a certain level. 

The Benefit Cap won’t apply to you if you or your partner: 

is working and earns at least £793 a month after tax - if you have a partner, your combined earnings need to be at least £793 a month

is getting the Limited Capability for Work Related Activity (LCWRA) element of Universal Credit

is getting the carer element of Universal Credit or Carer’s Allowance

gets certain benefits because you’re sick or disabled or have a child who gets one of these benefits - you can check the list of benefits on GOV.UK

The Benefit Cap might also not apply to you if you lost your job in the last 9 months or your earnings recently went down.

If you lost your job in the last 9 months

The Benefit Cap might not be applied to your Universal Credit payments for 9 months after you stopped earning. This is called a ‘grace period’.

The 9 months includes time before you claim Universal Credit. After 9 months the Benefit Cap will be applied.

You’ll be in a grace period if your earnings were at least a certain amount for the 12 months before you stopped earning. If you were already claiming Universal Credit it depends on the 12 months before the assessment period in which you stopped earning. Your earnings must have been at least:

£604 a month for each of the 12 months that started between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2021

£617 a month for each of the 12 months that started between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022

£658 a month for each of the 12 months that started between 1 April 2022 and 31 March 2023

£722 a month for each of the 12 months that started from 1 April 2023 or later

If you have a partner, these amounts will include their earnings too.

Lilo lost her job on 21 May 2023 and claimed Universal Credit in June 2023. She wants to know if the Benefit Cap applies to her.

Lilo will be in a grace period if she earned enough from 22 May 2022 to 21 May 2023. She must have earned at least:

£658 a month from 22 May 2022 to 21 April 2023

£722 a month from 22 April 2023 to 21 May 2023

If Lilo is in a grace period, the Benefit Cap won’t apply for 9 months starting on 22 May 2023. Because she started claiming in June 2023, she has 8 months of the grace period left before the Benefit Cap is applied.

If your earnings recently went down

If your earnings have gone down to less than £722 a month, the Benefit Cap might not be applied to your Universal Credit payments for 9 months. This is called a ‘grace period’. After 9 months the Benefit Cap will be applied.

You’ll be in a grace period if your earnings were at least a certain amount for the 12 months before the assessment period in which they went down. If you claimed Universal Credit later it depends on the 12 months before you started your claim. Your earnings must have been at least:

£658 a month for each of the 12 months that started between 1 April 2022 and 31 March 2023

If you weren’t already claiming Universal Credit, you’ll only get a grace period if you start your claim soon after your earnings go down. This is because it depends on your earnings in the 12 months before your claim.

Magnus has been getting Universal Credit since July 2022. His earnings went down to £500 a month on 20 October 2022 - this was in the assessment period which went from 5 October 2022 to 4 November 2022. He wants to know if the Benefit Cap applies to him.

Magnus will be in a grace period if he earned enough from 5 October 2020 to 4 October 2021. He must have earned at least:

£617 a month from 5 October 2021 to 4 April 2022

£658 a month from 5 April 2022 to 4 October 2022

If Magnus is in a grace period, the Benefit Cap won’t apply for 9 months starting on 5 October 2022.

Bianca’s earnings went down to £500 a month in February 2023 and she claimed Universal Credit on 13 May 2023. She wants to know if the Benefit Cap applies to her.

Bianca can only be in a grace period if she earned enough from 13 May 2022 to 12 May 2023. She must have earned at least:

£658 a month from 13 May 2022 to 12 April 2023

£722 a month from 13 April 2023 to 12 May 2023

Because Bianca was only earning £500 from February 2023, she is not in a grace period. If she had claimed Universal Credit as soon as her earnings went down she might have been in a grace period.

The DWP should ask you to report your earnings from the last 12 months when you apply for Universal Credit to get the grace period. If they don’t ask you to report your earnings, send them a message in your online account.

You can check if you’ll get a grace period on GOV.UK.

Check what the Benefit Cap limit is

The amount of money you can get in benefits before the Benefit Cap applies depends on things like:

where you live

if you're single

if you have children in your household - this means they live with you and you’re responsible for them

The childcare element isn’t affected by the Benefit Cap. It doesn’t matter if the amount you get for childcare means you’re paid more than the Benefit Cap amounts. 

If you’re not sure if your Universal Credit is affected by the Benefit Cap, talk to an adviser .

5. Take off sanctions and other reductions

The DWP might take money off your Universal Credit payments for:

money the DWP have given you early, like an advance payment or budgeting advance

overpayments

child maintenance payments

to pay off debts for utility bills

benefit fraud

What welfare benefits can I claim when my course ends?

If you are about to graduate, looking for a new job may be challenging for a while, so you need to know what your options are with respect to financial support and where you stand with bills and banking . In this article we address some key questions which may be concerning you:  

• I don’t have a full-time job; can I claim welfare benefits?
• Are there any conditions around residence for claiming benefits?
• What is the difference between Universal Credit and Job Seekers Allowance?
• If I have savings does this affect my eligibility for benefits?
• What if I am unable to work due to sickness or disability?
• Can I still receive money and housing advice from King’s if I experience financial issues after I graduate?

Most full-time students don’t qualify for welfare benefits but once your course officially ends you may be eligible to apply for help with living and housing costs, if you don’t have sufficient income or savings to live on. You may have some concerns about claiming welfare benefits, but you shouldn’t feel bad about claiming Universal Credit or Job Seekers Allowance .  As a graduate, these benefits are in place to help you transition from full-time study to work, even if you are living at home or have job lined up in a few weeks.  This is an important safety net, which you should claim just in case anything changes.  If you meet the eligibility criteria below you should claim from the day after your official course end date. Important to know:

• It is essential that you apply on time, as backdating the claim is not always possible and it can take at least 5 weeks to process your application.
• To claim out of work or low-income benefits, you will need to demonstrate that the UK (or Ireland, Channel Islands or Isle of Man) is your main home and you plan to stay.
• You must also have the right to reside in the UK, so if you are not a UK national there may be restrictions on what you can claim or further evidence that you must provide.

You can claim universal credit if you're classed as ' habitually resident ' in the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands or Isle of Man . ‘Habitual residence’ means you're settled here for the foreseeable future and you would have been living in the UK for a minimum of the last 2 years.

Important to know: There are further criteria if you are returning to the UK to settle and have been temporarily overseas. We advise that you please seek advice on your personal situation. If you  require a visa   to live, work or study in the UK , the rules are complex  You can usually claim Universal Credit if you have been granted Indefinite Leave to remain (ILR) , unless your ILR was granted because of a relative sponsoring you – 5 years must have passed or the sponsor has died. If you have limited leave to remain , and you are on a Student Visa (previously known as Tier 4) or as a dependant on a Tier 1 or Tier 2 you are likely to have a “no recourse to public funds” condition on your visa.  This prohibits you from claiming most welfare benefits. However there are some benefits that are linked to national insurance contribution, and therefore not considered public funds, so if you have worked in the past you may qualify for them:

• Bereavement benefits
• Contribution-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) (or ‘new style’ JSA)*
• NHS treatment - but you may have paid a fee for this when you applied to stay in the UK (this is called the ‘immigration health surcharge’)
• State-funded schools
• State Pension
• Statutory maternity pay

You can check what’s included in public funds from the UK government website .  

If you have worked and paid National Insurance (NI) contributions during the last 2 years it is best to claim contribution-based or the new style Job Seeker’s Allowance (JSA) (if you are in a Universal Credit area). This is because your savings, capital and partner’s income won’t affect your claim.  It also doesn’t matter what country you are from because JSA is based on NI contributions and is not a public fund. This is paid for 6 months only but may be the support you need while you seek graduate work.

Important to know: You can also claim contribution based JSA up to 3 months before you need it, but the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) don’t always accept this. If you are not sure if you have paid enough NI contributions you can check this here - Check your National Insurance record . If you have not been working and are eligible to do so you can claim Universal Credit instead. If you are working but only receiving a low income, you may also qualify for help from Universal Credit but your savings will be taken into consideration, and as a public fund non-EEA nationals will not be able to claim it.  

If you are applying for Universal Credit, and you or your partner have £16,000 or more in savings you will not be entitled to help from the benefit.  If you have between £6,000 and £16,000 in savings, then a reduction is calculated based on the amount you have.  Any savings under £6,000 are ignored.  You can find out more from the Money Advice Service .  

You may be entitled to additional payments or you could apply for supplementary benefits .  Some of these are ‘ means-tested ’ but most are based on how your illness or disability affects you and the amount of support you need.  Important to know: If you have a “no recourse to public funds” condition on your visa then you are not permitted to apply, but we advise that you seek advice on your rights and any other options available to you.

The Money & Housing Advice team at King’s College London are happy to provide advice and information for up to 4 months after you complete your studies, but we may not be able to act on your behalf.  If you do need an advocate, we can signpost you to relevant services.

Student income and Universal Credit

How your universal credit may be affected if you have student income.

If you and/or your partner are in advanced education you must report all the student income you get, including:

• student loans
• student grants
• bursary or scholarship from a college or university
• NHS bursary
• social work bursary
• teacher training bursary
• payments from a charity or trust
• payments from access funds (for example, Access to Learning)

Student loans

The maximum student loan available to you will be taken fully into account. This applies even if you have:

• not applied
• not accepted the loan
• chosen not to take the full amount
• received a reduced loan because someone has to contribute to your living costs, for example your parent or guardian or your partner

People with student loans can also get grants. You may get a grant if you have extra expenses, for example because you are a lone parent or a disabled person. These grants will be disregarded unless:

• they are paid to cover rent and your Universal Credit includes the Housing element for this property
• you are part of a joint claim and the grant is to help with the day to day living expenses of a partner (for example, the Adult Dependant's Grant)

Student grants, bursaries, scholarships, studentships, exhibition allowances or any other maintenance awards

Student grants for your day to day living expenses (maintenance grants) are taken fully into account.

Extra grants for the following are disregarded:

• tuition or examination fees
• expenses paid for a disability
• extra costs due to term-time residential study away from your college or university
• housing costs for a home other than where you live whilst attending your course (unless you are already getting the Housing Costs Element for this property)
• living expenses for another person, but only if you're not getting Universal Credit for that person (including the Adult Dependant's Grant)
• expenses for books and equipment (including the Parent's Learning Allowance)
• travel expenses for attending the course
• childcare costs (including the Childcare Grant)

Access Funds

These are urgent payments for help with domestic and other emergencies, for example if you need to repair essential household equipment. These payments will be disregarded unless they are for day to day living expenses.

How your student income affects Universal Credit

Your student income is taken into account in each Universal Credit assessment period in which you are required to attend your course:

• starting with the assessment period in which you start the course or the academic year
• ending with the assessment period in which your course finishes or the summer vacation starts
• excluding any assessment period that falls wholly within the summer vacation

A set amount will be disregarded in each assessment period to cover expenses.

If your course is shorter than a full academic year, your student income will be taken into account during the actual number of complete months that the course lasts.

Doctoral degrees.

The University of Idaho awards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in recognition of high achievement in scholarly and research activity. The degree of Doctor of Education is granted for high scholarly attainment and in recognition of the completion of academic preparation for professional practice. See the "Ph.D. and Ed.D. Procedures" tab for more details. The Doctor of Athletic Training is offered through the College of Education and the Department of Movement Sciences (see the "DAT Procedures" tab for more details).

The major professor and program offering a particular doctoral program indicate the general philosophy of the degree program, the objectives of courses and seminars, the research specialties available, and requirements unique to the department. Admission to the doctoral program is granted only to those who have a recognized potential for completing the degree.

Requirements for Doctoral Degrees

Credit requirements.

For the Ph.D. and Ed.D., a minimum of 78 credits beyond the bachelor's degree is required.; At least 52 credits must be at the 500 level or above and at least 33 of the 78 credits must be in courses other than 600 (Doctoral Research and Dissertation). A maximum of 45 research credits in 600 (Doctoral Research and Dissertation) including 6 credits of 599 (Non-thesis Research) or 500 (Master's Research and Thesis) may be in the 45 research credits used toward the degree. For the D.A.T., a minimum of 66 credits is required and follows a prescribed set of courses set by the program.

Courses numbered below 300 may not be used to fulfill the requirements for a doctoral degree; courses numbered 300-399 may be used only in supporting areas and are not to be used to make up deficiencies. Individual programs may require additional course work. Applicants having a doctoral degree may obtain a second doctoral degree subject to the approval of the Graduate Council. The Graduate Council will establish the requirements for the second degree.

Credit Limitations for Transfer, Correspondence Study, and Non-degree

For the Ph.D. and Ed.D. degrees, a student must complete at least 39 of the 78 required credits at the University of Idaho (U of I) while matriculated in the College of Graduate Studies. Credits can be transferred to U of I with the consent of the student's major professor, the committee (if required by the program), the program's administrator, and the dean of the College of Graduate Studies. Credits can be transferred only if the institution from which the credits are being transferred has a graduate program in the course's discipline. All credits used toward graduate degrees must be from regionally accredited American institutions or from non-US institutions recognized by the appropriate authorities in their respective countries. Transfer credits are subject to all other College of Graduate Studies rules and regulations. Correspondence study courses may be applied to the degree only with the prior written approval of the College of Graduate Studies. Courses used toward an undergraduate degree, professional development courses, and courses on a professional development transcript are not available to be used toward a doctoral degree.

Time Limits

Of the credits submitted to satisfy the requirements for a Ph.D. or Ed.D. degree, a maximum of 30 may be more than eight years old when the degree is conferred, provided the student's committee and program administrator determine that the student has kept current in the subjects concerned. Graduation must occur no later than five years after the date on which the candidate passed their preliminary or general examination. These time limitations can be extended only on recommendation of the committee and approval by the Graduate Council.

Awarding Doctoral Degrees to Members of the Faculty

Regulations are outlined in Section 4920 of the Faculty-Staff Handbook.

Particular Requirements for the Ed.D. Degree

A period of professional practice is required for the Doctor of Education degree; the period involved is determined by the student's supervisory committee. While the Ed.D. is a College of Education degree, you should consult with the departments in the College of Education to learn of specific emphasis requirements.

Procedures for Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Education Degrees

Appointment of major professor and committee.

Refer to " Appointment of Major Professor and Committee for All Degree Seeking Graduate Students " in the preceding General Graduate Regulations section. In addition, a doctoral supervisory committee consists of at least four people: the major professor as chair and at least one additional UI faculty member from the program, the balance of the committee may be made up of faculty members from a minor or supporting area, and faculty members from a discipline outside the major. If the committee has a co-chair, the minimum number of committee members is five.

Qualifying Examination

The qualifying examination is a program option and serves to assess the background of the student in both the major and supporting fields and to provide partially the basis for preparation of the student's study program. A particular program may or may not require a master's degree as a prerequisite for the qualifying evaluation. As soon as the program's qualifications are met, a supervisory committee is appointed.

Preparation of Study Plan

Refer to " Preparation and Submission of Study Plan " in the preceding General Graduate Regulations section.

Preliminary Examination for Ph.D. Degree

The preliminary examination should be scheduled only after the student has completed the majority of the courses on their study plan. The student is required to be registered during the semester the preliminary examination is taken. The student's committee certifies to the College of Graduate Studies the results of the preliminary examination and if passed, the student is advanced to candidacy. Graduation must occur no later than five years after the date on which the candidate passed their examination. If the preliminary examination is failed, it may be repeated only once; the repeat examination must be taken within a period of not less than three months or more than one year following the first attempt. If a student fails the preliminary examination a second time, or the program does not allow the student to repeat the examination after the first failure or the student does not retake the examination within one year, the student is automatically moved to unclassified enrollment status and is no longer in the degree program.

General Examination for Ed.D . Degree

When the student approaches the end of their course work, has completed the professional experience requirement, and has outlined the dissertation subject in detail, the supervisory committee approves the holding of the general examination. The student is required to be registered during the semester the general examination is taken. The examination is both written and oral and is intended to assess progress toward degree objectives. The student's committee certifies to the College of Graduate Studies the results of the general examination and if passed, the student is advanced to candidacy. Graduation must occur no later than five years after the date on which the candidate passed their examination. If the general examination is failed, it may be repeated only once; the repeat examination must be taken within a period of not less than three months or more than one year following the first attempt. If a student fails the general examination a second time, or the program does not allow the student to repeat the examination after the first failure or the student does not retake the examination within one year, the student is automatically moved to unclassified status and is no longer in the degree program.

See the General Graduate Regulations section regarding application for advanced degree, registration requirements, final defense and dissertation requirements.

Procedures for Doctor of Athletic Training

The culminating clinical project.

Students enrolled in the Doctor of Athletic Training (D.A.T.) will engage in research projects during the curricular phase of the program. These project(s) will lead to at least two publication ready manuscripts, and all students must meet professional authorship requirements (regardless of order). See the  Department of Movement Sciences and Doctor of Athletic Training webpages for more information.

The Team (Committee)

All D.A.T. project team committees will have at least four committee members: two members of the athletic training faculty (all with graduate faculty status), the student's attending clinician (who is the student's on-site mentor during the student's residency), and an expert in the student's chosen area of clinical research. The athletic training faculty members will always chair the CCP, provide research guidance, and serve as the experts in the development of advanced practice in Athletic Training. A situation may arise in which one or both of the members of the committee that are outside of the AT program faculty may have a degree less than that of which the student is seeking; however, the intent of the third and fourth D.A.T. committee membership is to provide outside validation of the student's progress toward advanced practice and clinical utility of action research studies.

Culminating Clinical Project Hours

These dissertation hours may be used in instances when the CCP has not been successfully completed and the curricular phase of program has been completed.

Universal Credit changes in May 2024: Claimants must seek 18 hours' work

Change is coming to Universal Credit , which will impact hundreds of people in the UK from today.

According to the prime minister, Rishi Sunak , the modifications will support the "progress towards financial independence, which is better for them and for economic growth " for those receiving universal credit .

But what has changed with Universal Credit , who is impacted and what has the response been?

What has changed with Universal Credit?

Following changes to the welfare system, people who claim Universal Credit, and work fewer than 18 hours per week will be expected to look for more work.

Claimants only had to work 15 hours prior to this. The Government unveiled more extensive welfare system reforms last month, of which this new rule is a part.

Who will it impact?

According to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), 180,000 people who claim Universal Credit are impacted.

The change applies to minimum wage workers on Universal Credit. If an individual's total earnings are above the government-established Administrative Earnings Threshold (AET), they are permitted to work fewer hours.

From today, the new AET is £892, which is what you would earn in a month if you worked for 18 hours a week at the minimum wage. A claimant will be asked to look for additional work that pays more if their income is below the criteria. A couple will be expected to make an effort to raise their income if their combined income is less than £1,437.

According to the DWP, claimants whose income falls below the cut-off would receive more "intensive" JobCentre help, which will include more regular appointments with a work coach.

They may forfeit some of their benefits if they refuse to participate in the process or accept the new criteria.

What has the response been?

Turn2Us, a non-profit charity, requested the Government re-evaluate the policy because it may have a "drastic impact" on those who are caregivers, have long-term health concerns, or have inconsistent incomes.

Michael Clarke, from Turn2Us, expressed "serious concern" over the change.

He said: "It’s vital that the support system truly supports, rather than penalises those it's meant to help. These changes severely challenge those managing jobs with irregular or fluctuating incomes and carefully balanced responsibilities like childcare.

“For single mothers and others on razor-thin margins, these adjustments risk tipping them into crisis, exacerbating financial instability and mental stress as they struggle to meet these new demands.”

These thoughts were echoed by disability charities, who describe the plans as  "a full-on assault on disabled people" .

Government urged not to use infected blood compensation to ‘dodge criticism’

James Taylor, the director of strategy at the disability equality charity Scope, said “These proposals are dangerous and risk leaving disabled people destitute. In a cost-of-living crisis, looking to slash disabled people’s income by hitting Pip is a horrific proposal.”

Instead of "pushing a hostile rhetoric on 'sicknote culture'", according to the British Medical Association, the prime minister should concentrate on ensuring that people have access to the healthcare they require in order to return to their jobs.

Part time students and benefits - Can part-time students claim Universal Credit?

Find out more about the definition of a part-time student for benefit purposes and whether you can claim any benefits or tax credits

• Can part-time students claim Universal Credit?

If you are a part-time student, you can only claim Universal Credit if your course does not stop you from doing your work related activities .

What your work related activities are will depend on your circumstances.

If you are expected to look for work and be available for work, you will have to show that your course won’t stop you from doing this, and you might have to agree to give up your course if you get a job offer.

You might be able to argue that your course will help you to get a job or a better paid job, and so that it should mean you need to spend less hours looking for work. You will need to agree this with your work coach.

Improved Credit Transfer Practices Linked to Persistence, Success

When there are more than 40 million Americans with some college and no credential, the process of transferring credits must be seamless, streamlined and without barriers that learners are often forced to navigate on their own – sometimes to the tune of thousands of dollars in added costs. A new white paper from The Center for Higher Education Policy and Practice (CHEPP) at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) argues that the current higher education system often fails to fully accommodate the diverse pathways students take to complete their education and that “transfer and credit for prior learning (CPL) offer great potential to reduce costs and improve equitable access to the many benefits of a college degree.” The report dives into the costs of today’s college credit transfer system, and the mindsets and practices that can reduce the barriers and improve degree completion rates.

The report titled The Costs of Today’s College Credit Transfer System for Learners and the Mindsets and Practices That Reduce Them highlights the need for institutions to create systems and practices that help reduce costs while aligning institutional and student interests. The paper presents case studies and learner stories from SNHU and other institutions that have implemented transfer-friendly practices and public transfer partnerships. Like SNHU, where 64% of its learners transfer in with prior credit, the other institutions in the case studies have demonstrated that a focus on flexibility, dedicated resources and partnerships can lead to higher retention and completion rates for transfer students.

Significant challenges many students face when transferring credits which lead to increased costs and delayed degree completion include:

• Inefficient pathways and misaligned courses due to lack of advising and unclear information about credit transferability.
• Costly and lengthy credit evaluation processes, resulting in students registering for unnecessary courses.
• Rejection of credits or failure to apply them due to institutional decisions and policies.

Additional costs for learners include enrollment costs, human costs, and opportunity costs. For example, the research shows learners transferring to public four-year institutions may incur an estimated $13,081 in additional expenses, while those transferring to private institutions may face an additional $26,396 in costs.

Like SNHU, the other institutions profiled in the report are helping students succeed by being more open to accepting transfer credits and adopting practices aimed at reducing costs to students. These methods prove successful and have not led to lower tuition revenue or students struggling in advanced courses. Instead, by aligning policies with what students need, these institutions are seeing more students enrolling, staying in school, and graduating.

What works at SNHU:

• Culture of acceptance
• Ample staffing and support to reduce learner burdens.
• Flexibility
• Prioritize the learner experience.
• Advisors are the “secret sauce.” 
• Cost-efficiency matters.

SNHU students like Tanesha, a working mother seeking flexibility to complete her degree, shared that SNHU’s commitment to student advocacy and success stood out to her and the help from her advisor made the process seamless.

“The advisors took a lot of the responsibility that a student would typically have to do on their own, of gathering transcripts, reaching out to old schools, and getting all this information; they took on that responsibility to help alleviate the process for [the] incoming student … It showed the commitment to the success of the student,” Tanesha said.

At SNHU, learners who transfer in more credits, up to 90, have higher year-over-year retention rates. Many SNHU learners have unique credit transfer stories, with more than 1 in 4 having enrolled at 3 or more higher education institutions before coming to SNHU. One recent graduate, Anson Owen, tried six different schools over 20 years before completing his degree. Throughout his college journey he struggled with housing insecurity, job instability, and health issues. After his wife lost her eyesight, he became the sole earner for his family and is planning to use his degree to make a career change. Jeffrey Koutnik, a veteran and great-grandfather, graduated with his B.S. in Business Administration after starting his college journey more than 45 years ago. He is 64 and planning to use his new degree to advance his career at an Air Force base.

CHEPP’s report argues the transfer of credit should be a key strategy to improving economic security and social mobility because “it reduces costs for non-linear pathways to a degree, especially for historically underrepresented and underserved learners.” Non-linear pathways that include transferring credit “should be a more affordable and more widely accessible option, especially to those learners who have disconnected from higher education for some time and who have skills and experiences from non-traditional sources.”

Major developments are on the horizon for Universal Studios Orlando (also called Universal Orlando Resort), and they’re not all related to the currently constructed theme park, Epic Universe.

Universal Orlando Resort is on the cusp of significant transformation , as it prepares to debut the highly anticipated DreamWorks Land. This vibrant overhaul of the former Woody Woodpecker KidZone is just the beginning of sweeping changes that are set to redefine the park.

Alongside the excitement, there are murmurs of potential closures for several iconic attractions, including Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, Fast & Furious: Supercharged, and The Simpsons Ride. While Universal has yet to confirm these rumors, insiders suggest that the park is gearing up for a substantial shift in its attraction lineup.

DreamWorks Land: A new beginning at Universal Studios Florida

This summer marks the grand opening of DreamWorks Land, a colorful and immersive area within Universal Studios Florida. Scheduled to debut on June 14, this new land draws inspiration from some of DreamWorks Animation’s most beloved franchises, including Shrek , Trolls , and Kung Fu Panda .

DreamWorks Land promises to be a family-friendly haven with interactive play areas, character meet-and-greets, and an all-new indoor live show experience. Visitors can look forward to exploring Shrek’s Swamp, riding the Trollercoaster, and interacting with Po in the Panda Village.

The new land will also host Annual Passholder Previews at select times from May 24 to May 27.

DreamWorks Land aims to offer a multisensory experience that will captivate guests of all ages. One of the highlights is DreamWorks Imagination Celebration, a live show that will bring stories from DreamWorks Animation to life in a way never seen before. The area will also feature unique treats and numerous photo-worthy moments, ensuring that every visit is memorable.

Rumored Closures: Universal Studios in transition

As Universal Orlando Resort ushers in this new era, rumors of significant closures loom large. Hollywood Rip Ride RockIt, the towering roller coaster known for its customizable music experience, is said to be a prime candidate for closure. Despite its popularity, the ride has faced operational challenges and maintenance issues, leading some to speculate that its days are numbered.

Fast & Furious: Supercharged is another attraction under scrutiny. Despite its relatively recent addition to the park, the ride has received mixed reviews, with many guests feeling it doesn’t quite capture the high-octane excitement of the film franchise. Its potential closure could pave the way for a new attraction that better aligns with Universal’s evolving vision.

The future of The Simpsons Ride is perhaps the most intriguing. Universal’s contract rights with The Simpsons are set to expire in 2028, prompting speculation about the long-term viability of the attraction. Given the cultural significance and enduring popularity of The Simpsons, any decision to close or replace the ride will be met with considerable interest and likely some controversy.

New experiences already confirmed for this summer

While the potential closures may evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss among longtime fans, Universal Orlando Resort is also introducing an array of new experiences designed to delight and entertain.

CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular

Debuting on June 14, CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular is set to be a showstopper. This new nighttime lagoon show will celebrate the emotional power of music by featuring iconic scores and scenes from Universal’s vast catalog of blockbuster films. Guests can expect to see and hear favorites from Harry Potter, Jurassic World, Jaws, Shrek, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future , and many more.

The show will utilize cutting-edge technology, including 228 fountains, 4K projection mapping, and more than 600 drones, to create a breathtaking display. The meticulously crafted scores will enhance the emotional impact of each scene, making CineSational a must-see for all park visitors.

Universal Mega Movie Parade

On July 3, Universal Studios Florida will unveil its largest daytime parade to date: Universal Mega Movie Parade. This spectacular celebration will feature 13 brand new floats, nearly 100 performers, and a variety of special effects. Iconic movies like E.T., Back to the Future, Jaws, Ghostbusters, and Jurassic World will come to life in a vibrant and energetic display.

The parade will showcase memorable moments from these films, with highlights including a 16-foot Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters and a Gyrosphere from Jurassic World. Fans can also look forward to themed merchandise and interactive bubble wands that will enhance the parade experience.

Hogwarts Always: A Castle Projection Show

The magic of the Wizarding World continues with the debut of Hogwarts Always on June 14 at Universal Islands of Adventure. This new projection show will take guests on a journey through iconic moments at Hogwarts, all set against the backdrop of the majestic castle.

Featuring four different endings that celebrate each Hogwarts house, the show will culminate in a dazzling pyrotechnic display. Familiar voices like Professor Dumbledore and Hagrid will add to the immersive experience, making it a highlight for fans of all ages.

Universal Studios Orlando is embracing change

As Universal Orlando Resort prepares for a total overhaul, the blend of new attractions and potential closures signifies a period of transformation and growth. While the rumored end of beloved rides like Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, Fast & Furious: Supercharged, and The Simpsons Ride might be bittersweet, the introduction of DreamWorks Land and other new experiences promises to usher in an exciting new chapter for the park.

Karen Irwin, President & COO of Universal Orlando Resort, aptly summarized the park’s vision: “We are thrilled to debut an array of never-before-seen experiences for the entire family to enjoy from day to night. These new experiences – coupled with the amazing attractions currently in our theme parks – will allow our guests to create lasting memories that will make this summer truly unforgettable.”

This bulletin contains highlights from official statistics on claims, starts, people and households (including payments and childcare) on Universal Credit for Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales). It also provides context to emerging stories in the data

1. Main stories

There were 6.7 million people on universal credit in april 2024.

77.5% of people on Universal Credit in April 2024 were from the white ethnic group. All other high-level ethnic groups combined totalled 22.5% of Universal Credit claimants in April 2024

The proportion of people in the ‘no work requirements’ conditionality regime (37%) continues to increase

There were, on average, 57,000 claims and 48,000 starts per week in April 2024

Universal Credit households with children accounted for half of all households with a payment in February 2024

There were 176,000 households receiving the Universal Credit childcare element in February 2024

2. What you need to know

Universal Credit official statistics cover 4 series:

Claims: the number of people who have made a new claim for Universal Credit

Starts: the number of people who verify their identity and accept their claimant commitment

People: the number of people who start on Universal Credit and have no end date recorded

Households: the number of households who have a calculated entitlement for Universal Credit, including dedicated childcare statistics

The coronavirus pandemic impacted these statistics. Operational and policy changes in response to the coronavirus pandemic affected the time series for Universal Credit statistics. Therefore, we do not recommend making comparisons of statistics during the coronavirus period with trends, either before or after.

Further guidance on these statistics is provided in the About these statistics section of this bulletin.

3. People on Universal Credit

In these statistics a person is counted as being on Universal Credit if they have accepted their claimant commitment, have a National Insurance number recorded and no end date to the claim for Universal Credit has been recorded. Not every person on Universal Credit will go on to have a calculated entitlement or receive a payment.

Figures for the latest month are provisional and subject to small revisions when the next figures are released. For the previous 12 months, the average percentage change between provisional and revised figures was a decrease of 1%.

Figure 1: People on Universal Credit, Great Britain, April 2019 to April 2024  

Note: (p) provisional

Source: DWP Stat-Xplore, People on Universal Credit   

The number of people on Universal Credit in April 2024 was 6.7 million. This has been increasing since March 2022, when it was 5.5 million.

The number of people on Universal Credit in the ‘no work requirements’ conditionality regime continues to increase

Claimants are required to do certain work-related activities to receive Universal Credit. These activities are set by which of the 6 conditionality regimes the claimant is placed in. The conditionality regime also determines the level of contact with the claimant, and the support that they will receive. More detail can be found in the About these statistics section of this bulletin. 

Figure 2: People on Universal Credit by conditionality regime, Great Britain, April 2019 to April 2024

As people move across from legacy benefits, the composition of people on Universal Credit continues to change. At first, Universal Credit was only available to working age individuals with no children who were seeking employment. Over time, Universal Credit was made available to people in different circumstances, including those migrating over from health-related legacy benefits.

The number of people on Universal Credit in the ‘searching for work’ conditionality regime has fallen from its peak of 2.4 million in March 2021 to 1.5 million in April 2024. The number of people on Universal Credit in the ‘no work requirements’ conditionality regime has been rising steadily, reaching 2.5 million in April 2024. This overtook ‘searching for work’ as the largest conditionality regime in April 2022 and is happening as people make new claims to Universal Credit and migrate across from Employment and Support Allowance ( ESA ) as part of Move to UC . The number of people on Universal Credit in the ‘Working – with requirements’ conditionality regime has increased from 0.8 million in April 2023 to 1.0 million in April 2024.

58% of the people on Universal Credit in April 2024 were women

Women made up 58% of the people on Universal Credit in April 2024, which is an increase on 57% in April 2023. It is now the highest it has been since the introduction of Universal Credit in 2013.

Figure 3: People on Universal Credit by gender and conditionality regime, Great Britain, April 2024

Source: DWP Stat-Xplore, People on Universal Credit  by gender and conditionality regime 

There are more women than men in all conditionality regimes apart from ‘searching for work’. The increase in the proportion of people who are in the ‘no work requirements’ regime has contributed to the increase seen in the overall proportion of people on Universal Credit who are women.

The average (median) age of people on Universal Credit is slowly rising

Figure 4: people on universal credit by age, great britain, april 2023 compared to april 2024.

Source: DWP Stat-Xplore, People on Universal Credit  by age 

The median age of people on Universal Credit has increased from 38 in April 2023 to 39 as of April 2024.

38% of the people on Universal Credit were in employment in March 2024

Universal Credit is available to people on a low income as well as those who are out of work.

These statistics define an individual as in employment if they receive employee earnings for the assessment period which includes the count date. The earnings data for each period can be received up to one month after the count date so they are not available until later than the other data on People on Universal Credit. For this reason, the statistics on employment are published a further month in arrears.

Figure 5: People on Universal Credit in employment, Great Britain, March 2019 to March 2024

Source: DWP Stat-Xplore, People on Universal Credit by employment indicator  

There were 2.5 million people on Universal Credit in employment for March 2024, 38% of all people on Universal Credit. This figure has been stable since January 2023.

Any increase in the employment rate during the coronavirus pandemic should not be interpreted as more employment. It should be considered in the context of the policy changes , as more people in employment were eligible to receive Universal Credit as part of easements during the coronavirus pandemic.

Figure 6: People on Universal Credit in employment by conditionality regime, Great Britain, March 2024

Source: DWP Stat-Xplore, People on Universal Credit with employment indicator by conditionality regime

A claimant’s conditionality regime is measured on the count date and may not represent their situation for the entire assessment period. Employment status is measured using employment earnings received during the assessment period that is active on the count date.

Care should be taken when comparing employment rate and conditionality regime as they measure different aspects of someone’s work-related circumstances. For December 2023 March 2024, 18% of claimants in ‘searching for work’ had earnings and were recorded as in employment because people with low earnings can be placed in this conditionality regime. To compare, 16% of people placed in the ‘working - no requirements’ conditionality regime were not in employment, usually due to earnings from the other adult in the home.

The proportion of people in employment in each conditionality regime has been consistent despite the distribution of people in each conditionality group changing over time.

Ethnicity statistics

Universal Credit claimants are asked to answer optional equality questions when making their claim.

In April 2024 74.9% of Universal Credit claimants had provided information on their high-level ethnic group (5 options) or sub-group (18 options). Therefore, Universal Credit ethnicity statistics should be treated with caution due to a degree of non-completion . See the background and methodology note for further information about this.

Caution should also be taken when comparing ethnicity representation over time, because changes in response rate may impact this. Additionally, the balance of ethnicity diversity across the general population varies by geographical location and by age group, so changes in other demographics may have an impact to the ethnicity trends.

Ethnicity representation is presented as percentage of known declarations, which provides the best estimate of ethnicity representation in the caseload and enables meaningful comparison across time. Some of these Ethnic groups have been aggregated in Universal Credit statistics for clarity of presentation and to harmonise with other government statistics.

Figure 7: 77.5% of people on Universal Credit identified as belonging to the “White” ethnicity group

White is the largest, high-level ethnic group for Universal Credit claimants. 77.5% of those claiming Universal Credit in April 2024 were from the white ethnic group.  The Asian/Asian British ethnicity group is the second largest with 9.5% of claimants in April 2024. The Black/African/Caribbean/Black British ethnicity group accounts for 5.8% of claimants in April 2024, while the Other ethnic group accounts for 4.3%. The smallest ethnic group is the Mixed/Multiple with 2.9% of claimants in April 2024.

The proportion of claimants from the white ethnic group decreased from 78.8% in April 2023 to 77.5% in April 2024. The proportion of claimants from the ‘Asian/Asian British’ ethnic group increased from 8.4% to 9.5%.

Further detailed ethnic group categories are available in the data tables published with this release of statistics.

4. Claims and Starts to Universal Credit

A claim is made when an individual applies for Universal Credit.

This is the first step a person needs to take to receive Universal Credit. Not everyone who makes a claim will then start on Universal Credit as their circumstances may change and they may close their claim before completing the process.

A person is counted as starting on Universal Credit when they have agreed their commitment requirements and had their identity verified.

Source: DWP Stat-Xplore, Claims on Universal Credit  and DWP Stat-Xplore, Starts on Universal Credit  monthly counts divided by interval between count dates

There are seasonal highs and lows in the rates of claims and starts. For example, there are drops in December and January and rises in February.

The average weekly rate of claims and starts in the 4 weeks to the count date in April 2024 was 57,000 claims and 48,000 starts each week. This is higher than in April 2023, where there were on average 42,000 claims. The average weekly rate of starts is also higher than in April 2023, where there were on average 33,000 starts.

Work continues to move legacy benefit claimants across to Universal Credit Move to UC , which leads to new Universal Credit claims. Read the latest Move to Universal Credit statistics .

5. Households on Universal Credit

A household is a single person or co-habiting couple with or without dependent children. This is also referred to as a benefit unit in other statistics. A household is counted as being on Universal Credit when they have an entitlement calculated for the assessment period which includes the count date. Not all households will be due a payment after adjustment for deductions, sanctions, or the benefit cap. This bulletin focuses on those households with a payment indicator, i.e. those that were due a payment of Universal Credit.

The households series is produced three months in arrears.

There were 5.6 million households on Universal Credit in February 2024

Figure 9: households on universal credit by payment indicator, great britain, february 2019 to february 2024.

Note: (p) provisional (r) revised since last release

Source: DWP Stat-Xplore, Households on Universal Credit by payment indicator

The number of households on Universal Credit is 5.6million in February 2024, which is larger than the 5.0 million households in February 2023.

The remaining statistics for households only look at those households with a payment indicator, showing they were due a payment. There were 5.0 million households with a payment in February 2024, 91% of all households on Universal Credit that month.

The increase of households on Universal Credit in March 2020 coincides with the pandemic at this time the households with no payment indicator also increased due to keeping £0 awards open.

Over Half of households on Universal Credit with a payment had no children in February 2024

Figure 10: households on universal credit with a payment by family type, great britain, february 2019 to february 2024.

There was a methodology change affecting data from April 2019 onwards for this time series.

Source: DWP Stat-Xplore, Households on Universal Credit with payment indicator by family type

Households with children accounted for 48% of households on Universal Credit with a payment in February 2024.

For households on Universal Credit with a payment there is a long-term upward trend in ‘Single with children’ family type. At first, Universal Credit was only available to new benefit claims from individuals with no children who were seeking employment. Over time, Universal Credit was made available to people in different circumstances. Also, existing claimants of legacy benefits, such as Child Tax Credit, are being transferred onto Universal Credit, either due to a change in circumstances or as part of managed migration .

For those receiving a payment, the average Universal Credit amount was £900 in February 2024

The amount of Universal Credit that a household is entitled to is based on the standard allowance and additional entitlements such as housing or childcare, plus any additional amounts such as an advance or mortgage interest payment.

Benefit and pension rates increased from April 2023 , so the amount a household is entitled to based on the standard allowance and any additional entitlements has increased.

There was an increase in the average payment amount in April 2020. Management information shows that there was an increase in the number of advances being paid in the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic. There was also a temporary increase in the standard allowance at this time which was then removed in October 2021.

The amount paid to a household may be lower than their entitlement, for example, if a household is being sanctioned , limited by the benefit cap , or earning above the threshold so the taper rate is applied.

Figure 11: Households on Universal Credit with a payment, average (mean) payment by family type, Great Britain, February 2019 to February 2024

The average mean payment amount to households on Universal Credit varies by family type. For February 2024, the ‘Single no children’ family type had the lowest average payment amount of £650, while the highest average payment amount was £1,140 for the ‘Couple with children’ family type. The mean payment across the households is £900.

Figure 12: Households on Universal Credit with a payment, additional entitlements by family type, Great Britain, February 2024

Source: DWP Stat-Xplore, Households on Universal Credit with payment indicator, entitlements by family type

Households on Universal Credit can be entitled to a range of additional entitlements on top of the standard allowance to support costs for children, childcare, housing, health and disabilities, and carers. Households can be entitled to more than one of these additional entitlements.

Please note that childcare entitlement breakdowns will no longer be covered here from 13th February 2024. This is due to the availability of new, dedicated childcare statistics from this date onwards. Please see our  Universal Credit childcare element statistics to access these statistics.

Most households in each family type have a housing entitlement. Households with the ‘Couple no children’ family type have the highest proportion for the carer entitlement. Households with the ‘Single no children’ and ‘couples no children’ family type have the largest proportions for the limited capability for work entitlement.

Nearly all households received some or all their payment on time in January 2024

Statistics on payment timeliness are produced 4 months in arrears to avoid large revisions to provisional figures caused by retrospection. This is to allow for more accurate and higher quality statistics .

These figures are subject to revision and any conclusions or comparisons, particularly using the most recent month, should be made with caution.

In January 2024, 99% of households with a payment were paid all or some of their payment on time for all successful claims. This figure has been largely consistent since April 2020.

In January 2024, 97% received all of their payment on time for all successful claims.

In January 2024, 87% of new successful claims received their first payment in full and on time

Figure 13: households on universal credit with a payment, payment timeliness on new successful claims, great britain, january 2022 to january 2024.

Source: Stat-Xplore, Households on Universal Credit with payment indicator by payment timeliness

Payment timeliness is lower for new successful claims in comparison to all successful claims. There are several one-off verification processes that must be completed by the claimant and by DWP at the start of the claim. These are to confirm the current circumstances of the claimant (or both claimants in a joint claim) and their entitlement to Universal Credit. Delays to completion of these processes can cause payments not to be made on time.

For new successful claims in January 2024 (claims in their first assessment period on the count date), 87% received all their payment on time, 92% received at least some of their payment on time and 8% did not receive any payment on time.

7. About these statistics

The number of people and households reported are those at a particular count date each calendar month. The count dates are the second Thursday of each month. The number of claims and starts reported are those occurring between count dates, and they are reported against the month of the later count date. The time between count dates is either 4 or 5 weeks exactly, depending on when the count date falls in each calendar month.

These statistics are classified as Official Statistics. The Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 defines ‘Official Statistics’ as all those statistical outputs produced by the UK Statistics Authority’s executive office (the Office for National Statistics), by central Government departments and agencies, by the devolved administrations in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and by other Crown bodies (over 200 bodies in total). The statistics in this bulletin are compliant with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. The Code encourages and supports producers of statistics to maintain their independence and to ensure adequate resourcing for statistical production. It helps producers and users of statistics by setting out the necessary principles and practices to produce statistics that are trustworthy, high quality and of public value.

What is Universal Credit?

Universal Credit is a single payment for each household to help with living costs for those on a low income or out of work. It is replacing six benefits, commonly referred to as the legacy benefits.

Support for housing costs, children and childcare costs are integrated into Universal Credit. It also provides additional support for people with a disability, health condition, or caring responsibilities which may prevent them from working.

Payments are contingent on certain work-related activities being carried out depending on the outcome of the claimant assessment. Payment amounts can be reduced for a variety of reasons, such as sanctions, debt repayment, removal of spare room subsidy, or the taper for earnings above the work allowance.

Conditionality Regimes

All people on Universal Credit are placed into one of six conditionality groups, depending on their personal circumstances. Which of these groups they are placed into will determine what activities they are required to do (if any) as part of their claim and the level of contact and support they receive. Universal Credit statistics uses the term conditionality regime in place of ‘conditionality group’ and ‘labour market regime’.

Different members of the same household may be subject to the same or different requirements. As circumstances change claimants will also transition between different levels of conditionality. This means that there is a ‘flow’ of claimants between these groups.

The table below shows the circumstances of individuals for each conditionality regime and the associated group and labour market regime.

Universal Credit full service

Full service is the digital system that offers Universal Credit the full range of claimant groups. It was gradually introduced to Jobcentres from 2016 and was available in every Jobcentre across Great Britain and Northern Ireland by December 2018. When full service became available in a Jobcentre, existing Universal Credit claimants on live service were transferred to full service within 3 months. Prior to full service, Universal Credit was restricted to mostly single working age people seeking work with no children. These people were moved onto full service by March 2019.

These official statistics have been compiled using data in systems used by the department in the administration of Universal Credit and records of Universal Credit benefit payments made by the department.

While every effort is made to collect data to the highest quality, as with all administrative data it is dependent on the accuracy of information entered into the system. Checks are made throughout the process from collection of the data to producing the statistics, but some data entry or processing errors may filter through to the data used to produce the statistics. The quality assurance of administrative data report provides quality assessments on the data sources used in these statistics.

The proportion of ethnicity responses by Universal Credit claimants is now above the threshold of 70%. This is largely due to the re-prompting exercise with claimants that had previously left it unanswered that took place in December 2023. The re-prompting exercise allowed the proportion of ethnicity responses to be above the 70% threshold since February 2023. As a result, ethnicity statistics is published in this quarterly release for the first time.

As Universal Credit continues to develop, caution should be used when interpreting statistics over long time periods. Administrative system changes could cause discontinuities in the time series that were not the result of a policy decision or the economic environment.

To support households through the coronavirus pandemic, policy and operational changes were made to Universal Credit. These have had an impact on the time series for Universal Credit statistics.

A full discussion of strengths and limitations is in the  background information and methodology .

‘Let us in!' Howard U. nursing graduation cut off after venue reaches capacity

“i didn’t get to walk. i graduated magna cum laude and i didn’t even get to walk. i’m the class of 2020. i didn’t get to walk for my high school graduation and i didn’t get to walk for my college graduation", by walter morris, news4 reporter • published may 10, 2024 • updated on may 10, 2024 at 3:34 pm.

A graduation ceremony for nursing students at Howard University ended abruptly Thursday after the auditorium reached capacity.

Families filled Cramton Auditorium to watch students in the College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences walk across the stage. But as they walked, dozens of loved ones were locked out, with some trying to push their way in.

“Let us in! Let us in!” some chanted.

“While they were doing the keynote speaker, there was, like, loud banging, even before that, for like 10 minutes straight,” graduate Bria Flowers said. “Just like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.”

“Because of the size of the room and because our relatives sometimes do not know how to act, the fire department is now here to shut us down,” Dr. Gina S. Brown, dean of the College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences, told the crowd to a chorus of boos.

But D.C. Fire and EMS denied shutting down the ceremony.

"D.C. Fire and EMS did not shut down tonight’s event,” the department said in a statement. “At 6:42 p.m., we responded to the Cramton Auditorium for a medical local at the request of campus police. The patient was evaluated and refused transport, and D.C. Fire and EMS departed."

“I’m confused why it got so crazy, how it got so quick, so bad so fast,” graduate Kiana Hamilton said.

A glass door broke during the commotion.

“Glass started getting broken,” graduate Halle Ragoonanan. “One of my classmate’s hands got cut.”

Howard said security removed someone from the building prior to the ceremony. That person returned and broke a window.

"This incident led to a disturbance among guests outside of the facility, resulting in a disruption of the program,” Howard’s statement said. “Guests in attendance were immediately dispersed following this incident."

One student was treated for a cut.

Ragoonanan said her heart was broken as she and her family looked to make up for moments they missed because of the pandemic.

“I didn’t even get to walk,” she lamented. “I didn’t get to walk. I graduated magna cum laude and I didn’t even get to walk. I’m the class of 2020. I didn’t get to walk for my high school graduation and I didn’t get to walk for my college graduation.”

“All the money we spent,” another graduate said. “My father and grandmother came down from North Carolina.”

Some of those students will get to walk this weekend. The university’s main commencement ceremony is scheduled for Saturday.

The school plans to give individual awards to students Friday.
