Stop sanctioning benefit claimants by withdrawing access to money.

Petition Details

No one in the UK should be left without access to benefits. Sanctions lead to further poverty which can include loss of homes and sometimes to death.
Losing benefits is not a proportionate response to missed appointments. No one should be denied access to money.
It is time for sanctions to stop.
