Sanction UC

You get deducted a certain amount per day for X amount of days depending on the level of the sanction they give you so you should still receive some money

The job centre don’t need to know you quit. You can explain the job didn’t work out.

At Maeve are you sure??? I thought you need to let them know....

They will see automatically from HMRC data that your earnings have changed. There is also an option to report a Change of Circumstances in your online account. Otherwise just keep quiet about your reasons and they never need to know 🤷🏻‍♀️

Unless someone who currently works for DWP/jobcentre has specifically told you that it is a requirement to explain exactly why you left a job in order to receive UC?

At Maeve no noone said that.I just assumed that it's the right thing to do....there's a part of me that thinks I need to take a risk because I was soo miserable in this job and practicly gave up but I worry about money.I m responsible for my child and i don't wnat her to fo without....

Best not to assume anything if you don’t want to cause yourself unnecessary problems 😉

Does anybody know what happens after a sanction? So if they stop your money for X amount of time then what happens then?

Your payment should re-start after the sanction period ends.

Yeah but the thing is it's not much..and how would you survive?

My sister is going through DV her ex partner is threatening to sell the house she lives in with there 2 year old son & she is currently under strict bed rest for fear of loosing there 2nd child with complications, she has been claiming single person benefit and they have asked to review her case she is not in the head space to deal with the UC at the moment she just keeps ignoring all the journal messages and I’m worried about what could potentially happen to her. Her plan is to move in with my mum in the new year so she says she doesn’t need the money anyway as family are going to help her financially (he has all the log ins/ app to get in her bank) we’re going to set all this up for her again after Christmas I just worry she should tell them but she says she can’t cope with it mentally right now and just wants them to sanction her but I don’t think that’ll just be the end of it??

@T…. That sounds very distressing for all concerned. If she messages to explain her current health condition they should leave her alone for a while. They might ask for a Fit Note from the GP to know the duration of her condition, so if this would cover her until the end of pregnancy that might give her some breathing space. I think she can report her health condition under Change of Circumstances in her online account and it will take her through the steps. Wishing you & her all the best 💖
