The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have confirmed to Rupert Lowe MP that in 2003 "the total amount of Universal Credit paid to households where one or both claimants were refugees was £726M."
Rupert Lowe posted to X:
Following social media reports, I have had this astonishing figure confirmed to be true by the DWP.
In 2023 “the total amount of Universal Credit paid to households where one or both claimants were refugees was £726M.”
Speechless.
We are being taken for fools.
