Came across this screenshot on social media, from written questions submitted to the Department of Work and Pensions about social security benefit disqualifications.

According to Guy Opperman, Conservative MP for Hexham.

"There are no plans to automate decision making or the application of the sanctions regime which will continue to to be undertaken by Work Coaches and Decision Makers".

I should think so too. Appalling that they continue to sanction people full stop. UC pays the minimum amount possible already. Outrageous they want to try to reduce it further as a form of punishment.
