Client story thread #BenefitSanctions #ECF

1) Last week PLP’s @MIAhluwalia represented a client in her appeal against 6 sanctions decisions

Our client had been sanctioned 6 times and her Universal Credit payments had been reduced for 665 days – roughly a year and nine months
2) All six sanctions were imposed for allegedly missing appointments, either at a work programme provider or at the Jobcentre.
3) Our client was a care leaver who had also experienced domestic violence. She suffered from a number of physical and mental health problems and had difficulties with literacy.

Throughout the relevant time, the DWP failed to take into account our client’s vulnerability.
