Protect benefits claimants from sanctions for missed appointments during COVID19

Petition Details

We need the Government to guarantee that no one will be sanctioned for missing appointments for Universal Credit or any other out of or in work benefits during Coronavirus.

Additional Information

Social distancing is essential to limiting the spread of Coronavirus. People on benefits need assurances that they will not be sanctioned for missing appointments during Coronavirus, otherwise people with the virus may be tempted to travel to appointments, placing other people at risk from infection.
