and it's distressing. nobody should be having to worry like that. system for yea rs. payments or even their benefits being stopped altogether. is currently underway. being very close to double. being forced into rent arrears, debt and destitution as a result.

to our food banks. system, which merges six benefits into a single monthly payment. who will be exposed to the risk of being sanctioned. out by the government. to search for more work. universal credit is complete. no country in the world has ever attempted such a system. this is a complete novelty.

around 400,000 sanctions per year. is possibly around 300,000 or 350,000. what it boils down to is that it's a parallel penal system. for supposed offences. wrongly convicted and punished. in private and there really aren't any safeguards the people. the decisions are made in secret, without a hearing. money is cut off before there is any opportunity
