The decision to temporarily halt a claimant\u2019s benefit payment is always thoroughly considered and is not something we do lightly. It is a consequence of a claimant not meeting their requirements in return for receiving the benefit without good reason. The requirements and consequences are clearly communicated with them throughout their claim and set out in their Claimant Commitment. There are a number of steps in the decision making process to ensure that our decisions are correct. <\/em><\/p> <\/p> After being notified of the decision, claimants can apply for hardship payments.<\/em> Vulnerable claimants can apply for hardship immediately and the majority of claims are approved.<\/p>"}
