How many universal credit claimants have moved into work

The request was partially successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
how many universal credit claimants have moved into work since its birth?
how long does it take to receive the first payment from universal credit?
how many hours jobsesarch are the claimants supposed to undertake if they work part time?
if sanctioned on universal credit how much of the benefit will the claimant lose?
if sanctioned will the claimant lose his housing element too?
is it true that the claimant can be sanctioned for not looking presentable? and how far does this go?

Yours faithfully,
Trudy Baddams
