You asked

How many women are currently claiming Universal Credit (UC)? And how many men are claiming UC?

We said

Thank you for your request.

Although we produce and publishes the Claimant Count, which uses Universal Credit data, most statistics relating to Universal Credit are held by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Each quarter they produce a bulletin with information about the number of claimants of Universal Credit.

They also release data monthly on their Stat Xplore tool.
