Statistics released today show 59 per cent of of the 470,000 claimants now on universal credit are in the searching for work conditionality regime. The briefing - Universal credit claimant count - explains -

‘... how Universal Credit is acting to increase the number of people claiming unemployment benefits, by requiring a broader group of claimants to look for work than was the case under Jobseeker’s Allowance.’
