Universal Credit (UC) Sanctions Appeals: 86% Success

86% Of UC Sanction Appeals Successful

Sanctionable Failures: Universal Credit’s failing sanctions regime and the harm it causes

One of my concerns about such a high success rate of this type of appeal is the cases where the claimant doesn't appeal.

The report recommends the current sanction regime should be revoked entirely or fundamentally reformed to ensure sanctions are applied as a genuinely last resort measure, only after clear warning, and make sanctions less severe.
