Stop using sanctions More and more people are facing benefit sanctions.
Sign our petition calling on the government to stop using sanctions
More and more people are facing benefit sanctions. Over two million people have had their money stopped in the past two years. That’s two million people, many of whom have been plunged into poverty.
Benefit sanctions must be fought against
These sanctions are cruel and handed out for ridiculous reasons such as:
Arriving minutes late to a meeting
Not applying for jobs when waiting to start a new job!
Missing an appointment on the day of the funeral of a close family member
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
