Abstract

This report presents the first findings from the Welfare at a (Social) Distance project,
a major national research project investigating the benefits system during the COVID19 pandemic, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council as part of UK
Research and Innovation’s rapid response to COVID-19. It draws upon a new survey of
2,364 new Universal Credit (UC)/Jobseekers’ Allowance (JSA) claimants (carried out
between 25th May and 3rd June) to look at how far benefit claimants are connected to
the world of work, helping to better understand the emerging picture from recent UK
labour market statistics.
