answer text

The decision to temporarily halt a jobseeker’s benefit payment is always thoroughly considered and is not something we do lightly. It is a consequence of a jobseeker not meeting the conditions attached to receiving their benefits without good reason. Jobseekers are only ever asked to meet reasonable requirements, taking into account their circumstances and capability. The requirements and consequences are clearly communicated with them throughout their claim and set out in their Claimant Commitment. The vast majority of jobseekers fulfil their requirements and do not receive a sanction.
