Universal Credit statistics, 29 April 2013 to 13 March 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-15)

Statistics for the number of people on Universal Credit by geography, age, conditionality regime, duration, employment and ethnicity.

These official statistics contain data on:

the number of people who made a claim or started on Universal Credit to January 2025

the number of people who are on Universal Credit to March 2025

the number of households who are on Universal Credit to November 2024

Further information

See the background information and methodology note (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-statistics-background-information-and-methodology) for guidance on these statistics, such as timeliness, uses, and procedures. Universal Credit claims and starts breakdowns by postcode are no longer available from April 2022 onwards, due to missing geography data. The missing information has been captured and action is being taken to reinstate these breakdowns in future releases. Updates will be provided via Stat-Xplore and the gov.uk website.

Interactive tools

Software used for the interactive maps is no longer supported. These showed households on Universal Credit at the local authority level and people on Universal Credit at Jobcentre Plus level.

The interactive maps have therefore been withdrawn and a replacement is currently under development. Once completed and launched, the interactive tool (called Examine-a-Stat) will have improved functionality, including interactive maps, to better meet a wider range of user needs. It will be available in due course and the statistics are currently accessible on Stat-Xplore (https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/).

Pre-release access

In addition to staff who are responsible for the production and quality assurance of the statistics, up to 24-hour pre-release access is provided to ministers and other officials. We publish the job titles and organisations of the people who have been granted up to 24-hour pre-release access to the latest Universal Credit statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pre-release-access-to-statistics-order-2008/pre-release-access-to-dwp-statistics#universal-credit).

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We HS Infra Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 HS Infra Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Consultation on draft supplementary EIA guidance
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-19)

Consultation on draft supplementary EIA guidance for assessing the effects of scope 3 emissions on climate from offshore oil and gas projects

Consultation on draft supplementary EIA guidance in light of the Finch Supreme Court judgment

Background

On 20 June 2024 the Supreme Court issued its judgment in relation to the appeal case R (on the application of Finch on behalf of the Weald Action Group) (Appellant) v Surrey County Council and others (Respondents) (‘the Finch case’). The Supreme Court upheld the appeal, concluding the Council’s decision to grant planning permission for the oil development was unlawful because the end-use atmospheric emissions from burning the extracted oil were not assessed as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Whilst the facts of the Finch case related to an application for planning permission for an onshore oil extraction facility, the judgment has implications for the application of The Offshore Oil and Gas Exploration, Production, Unloading and Storage (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2020, which implement the EIA Directive in relation to certain offshore projects. It means that end-use emissions from the burning of extracted hydrocarbons need to be assessed as part of EIAs undertaken in relation to offshore oil and gas activities. As a result, on 29 August the government announced it would be developing updated EIA guidance to help offshore operators understand the practical implications of the judgment.

Consultation on draft EIA guidance

We are now consulting on this draft guidance, which can be found below. The draft guidance will supplement OPRED’s existing EIA guidance (we are not consulting on the existing guidance, which is unchanged in light of the Finch judgment). When the draft guidance is finalised after consultation operators will therefore be expected to refer to both documents as necessary when seeking to understand what is expected of them under The Offshore Oil and Gas Exploration, Production, Unloading and Storage (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2020. Set out below alongside the draft guidance is a consultation document. This explains the purpose of the consultation and how interested parties can respond to it. It also includes a number of questions in relation to which we are particularly interested in respondents’ views.

They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

IHTM13044 - Domicile: election by non-UK domiciled spouse or civil partner: process for dealing with elections
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


From 6 April 2025, for inheritance tax purposes, domicile is replaced by long-term UK residence and you can find details of these rules at IHTM47000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000). Details of spousal elections under the new rules are at IHTM47031 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47031). Transitional rules will apply to existing domicile elections and details are at IHTM47041 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47041).

Lifetime election

When Risk receive a lifetime election (IHTM13042 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13042)) from a person who is not domiciled in the UK, they will ask the registry to set up a record on ALF for the person making the election, using the XA case type and the prefix XDOM. The record should contain:
- the name of the person making the election, and
- their date of birth.
The name of their spouse or civil partner who is domiciled in the UK should be added as an alternative name on the record. The registry will send SL15 to the person who sent the election, acknowledging receipt and telling them the reference number. The election should be kept, together with all other elections, in the registry.

Election on death of first spouse or civil partner

Where you receive a death election (IHTM13042 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13042)) from a person who is not domiciled in the UK following the death of their UK-domiciled spouse or civil partner, you should ask the registry to set up a record, send SL15 and keep the election as above. If a record already exists for the spouse or civil partner who has died, the registry should make a copy of the election and refer the case to the caseworker who is dealing with the record for the deceased spouse or civil partner and include the XDOM reference.

Election on death of second spouse or civil partner

Where a death election is received from the personal representatives of a person who is not domiciled in the UK and a record exists for the person to whom the election applies, it should be uploaded to the case record. If a record does not exist, one should be created.

As an election will only be made by the personal representatives where the UK-domiciled spouse or civil partner has already died; the two records should be cross referenced for risk assessment.
