Good Afternoon,

I refer to your request for the following information from Isle of
Anglesey County Council under the Freedom of Information Act dated 15^th
March 2019, and respond as follows:-

a)       Any estimate of the total monetary cost to your authority of the
introduction of Universal Credit since its inception in 2013 (ideally
broken down by municipal year and including 2018/19 to date);

Unfortunately, we do not hold this information in a form that we could
easily extract the required information. To obtain the information would
require analysis of individual Council Tax accounts and, given the number
of records involved, we estimate that it would take more than eighteen
hours work to extract this information and make it available to you. This
means that, under Section 12 of the FOIA, where the cost of compliance
exceeds the appropriate limit of 18 hours work, the Council is not obliged
to provide you with this information.

b)      The total monetary value of any crisis loans funded by yourselves
and given to Universal Credit claimants since January 1 2013;

Unfortunately, we do not hold this information in a form that we could
easily extract the required information. To obtain the information would
require analysis of individual Council Tax accounts and, given the number
of records involved, we estimate that it would take more than eighteen
hours work to extract this information and make it available to you. This
means that, under Section 12 of the FOIA, where the cost of compliance
exceeds the appropriate limit of 18 hours work, the Council is not obliged
to provide you with this information.

c)       The total funding given by yourselves to third-sector
organisations for the purpose of supporting Universal Credit claimants
since January 1 2013;

Unfortunately, we do not hold this information in a form that we could
easily extract the required information. To obtain the information would
require analysis of individual Council Tax accounts and, given the number
of records involved, we estimate that it would take more than eighteen
hours work to extract this information and make it available to you. This
means that, under Section 12 of the FOIA, where the cost of compliance
exceeds the appropriate limit of 18 hours work, the Council is not obliged
to provide you with this information.

d)      The cost to yourselves of offering support or advice to Universal
Credit claimants who are in financial difficulty or struggling with the
process of claiming Universal Credit since January 1 2013;

Unfortunately, we do not hold this information in a form that we could
easily extract the required information. To obtain the information would
require analysis of individual Council Tax accounts and, given the number
of records involved, we estimate that it would take more than eighteen
hours work to extract this information and make it available to you. This
