COVID-19 Management Information
The Northern Ireland Universal Credit Quarterly Report is the official source for Universal Credit statistics in Northern Ireland. These statistics are classified as experimental statistics and in order to ensure that they meet the highest standards of quality, trustworthiness and public value they are published at a 3 month lag from the time period to which they refer.
However, as there has been significant interest in Universal Credit applications since the onset of COVID-19, the Department has released Management Information related to Universal Credit Claims, Payments and Advances. Detailed information was first released on 6 May with a further update on 5 June. A summary dashboard was also released on 5 June. This will be updated on the first Friday of each month at 10am.
These do not replace the official statistics for the period.
