Univsersal Credit is a government- financial aid program in the UK, disbursed either monthly or bi-monthly to help cover living expenses. The payments typically range from £300 to £600, and can exceed £800 to £900 or more when combined with additional benefits. This support is accessible to individuals who are employed, have a low income, or are unemployed, with the amount granted influenced by various factors including income level, working hours, and family circumstances..The benefits, which are financed through National Insurance—a tax that most UK workers pay to qualify for specific benefits and the State Pension—are disbursed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The DWP oversees the overall policy and administration, including the establishment of rules, rates, and eligibility criteria for these benefits.

 

Access to public funds, such as Universal Credit, is limited for individuals with a "no recourse to public funds" condition on their visa. This restriction can affect those who have permission to enter or remain in the UK, including individuals on spousal visas. However, there are exceptions for certain benefits, and individuals such as British or Irish citizens, EU settled status holders, and refugees typically qualify for these benefits.

 

Asylum support, which includes housing and financial assistance, is available to individuals and families while their refugee status is being assessed. Once refugee status is granted, they can apply for benefits and secure housing.

 

The Habitual Residency Test is utilized to assess a foreign national's eligibility for benefits in the UK. This test also applies to British citizens returning from abroad to verify their actual habitual residency in the UK.

 

On November 12,  Rupert Lowe Reform UK Member of Parliament for Great Yarmouth, shared statistics on Twitter regarding the nationality of individuals passing the Habitual Residency Test for Universal Credit eligibility. He stated, “I have been reliably informed by a central DWP whistle-blower that these numbers of British citizens equal roughly 10% of overall tests passed.”.,........

Approximately 10% of individuals who successfully pass the Habitual Residency Test and qualify for Universal Credit are British citizens returning from abroad, while the remaining 90% are foreign nationals. As highlighted by Mr. Lowe in his tweet, this translates to nearly 3.4 million foreign nationals receiving Universal Credit benefits from April 2019 to September 2024, which averages to over 50,000 additional foreign nationals being approved for benefits funded by UK taxpayers each month.

This is significant news.

 

Despite efforts by the establishment to obscure the statistics regarding the nationality of benefit claimants, I believe I have uncovered the actual figures.

 

The Universal Credit Habitual Residence Test assesses a foreign national's eligibility for benefits.

 

It also applies to British citizens returning from overseas to verify their 'factual habitual residency' in the UK. A reliable whistleblower from the DWP has informed me that British citizens account for approximately 10% of those who pass the test.

 

Since April 2019, the total number of successful residence tests, according to internal DWP data, is as follows:

 

- April 2019 to March 2020: 342,900

- April 2020 to March 2021: 826,200

- April 2021 to March 2022: 941,400

- April 2022 to March 2023: 499,500

- April 2023 to March 2024: 479,700

- April 2024 to September 2024: 289,800

 

This indicates that over 50,000 foreign nationals are approved monthly.

 

Nationals are undergoing assessments each month to qualify for Universal Credit.

 

If this information is inaccurate, the Department for Work and Pensions should publicly release a comprehensive breakdown of the nationalities of benefit claimants.

 

This situation is unacceptable.

Please write to your MP and copy in this article telling him/her that you demand answers. Akso copy in Rupert Lowe MP who has made a stand on this.

 

The British government must now be transparent.
