Department for Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 15 October 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the number of people in work aged (a) 18, (b) 19, (c) 20, (d) 21, (e) 22, (f) 23 and (g) 24 who will be eligible for universal credit.
Of those individuals in work, we estimate that around 500,000 under 25 year olds will be in receipt of UC once it is fully rolled out. Individual year breakdowns are not available.
This estimate is based on the Policy Simulation Model using the Family Resources Survey 2010/11 and assumptions consistent with the Budget 2014 forecast.
