Universal Credit (UC) was rolled out to every jobcentre across Great Britain by December 2018 and has now replaced income-related ESA for most new claimants. This has greatly changed the volume and composition of new claims to ESA.听
Note: Information based on Date of Decision is reported up to 6 months prior to the publication, or 9 months where it is based on the date of claim. This allows time for most customer journeys to be completed, and the information presented to accurately reflect this journey.
