Four out of five universal credit sanction appeals are successful
“for universal credit, both the total number of decisions and the number of sanctions being applied have risen in the past quarter - to 48,000 and 16,000 respectively - so that in November 2017 the percentage of claimants with a drop in payment due to a sanction was 4.7 per cent;”
The (non-existent) target when I worked as a work coach was 4-5% of claimants to be sanctioned. So the DWP are bang on target with the targets that don’t exist.
