Pre-settled status holders and Universal credit claims

Department for Work and Pensions did not have the information requested.

Dorota Peszkowska

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

1) How many applications for the Universal Credit resulted in refusal despite the applicant being a holder of the pre-settled status?

And, if possible, (if not, answer to (1) will suffice):

2) How many applications for the Universal Credit resulted in refusal despite the applicant being a holder of the pre-settled status specifically due to failing the Habitual Residency Test?

Yours faithfully,

Dorota Peszkowska
