</p><p>Sanctions are only used in a minority of cases, and that is only when people
fail to meet their agreed conditionality requirements without good reason. A Decision
Maker will take into account all the claimant’s individual circumstances, including
any health conditions or caring responsibilities and any evidence of good reason they
have provided, before deciding whether a sanction is warranted.</p>
