Benefit sanctions – your experience
Have you received a benefit sanction for Job Seekers Allowance or Employment Support Allowance? Details, including how the sanction lasted and the impact of the sanction would be very welcome.
Please send your experience to Henrietta.doyle@
The Commons Public Accounts Select Committee has opened an inquiry into benefit sanctions. The Committee wishes to examine whether the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP),
“is achieving value for money from its administration of benefit sanctions. This includes how benefit sanctions fit with the intended aims and outcomes of DWP’s wider working age employment policy, whether sanctions are being implemented in line with policy and whether use of sanctions is leading to the intended outcomes for claimants.”
More information about the inquiry is available at: https://www.parliament.uk/
