star this property answer text <p><del class="ministerial">DWP has recently moved to a new data platform to store and process data. During our live running process an issue was identified with the availability of software required to process Universal Credit full service (UCFS) sanction decisions data. This is currently being investigated and we aim to reinstate the decisions measure as soon as possible. We expect to provide a further update in late March 2022.</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">Statistics for Universal Credit (UC) durations and median sanction length remain suspended, and we will continue to publish the UC rate for UC Full Service only from April 2019. This is to allow for investigations to continue into the code used to produce these statistics in order to ensure methods are robust. We will keep users updated on progress via the Benefit Sanctions statistics page, and further details are available in section 5 of the latest Benefit Sanctions statistics bulletin.</ins></p> more like this
