Rethink Sanctions

In 2014, one million benefit sanctions were imposed on people. This means their payments were stopped for a period of between one month and three years. The most common reason for being sanctioned is being late or not turning up for an appointment. If you've ever been 10 minutes late to an appointment, show your support for sanctioned claimants by wearing the 'SANCTIONED' twibbon on your Twitter or Facebook profile. #Rethink Sanctions www.jointpublicissues.org.uk/rethinksanctions
