Social Security Benefits: Disqualification

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many benefit claimants with an address in Ludlow have been sanctioned for failing to keep appointments at the Jobcentre in Leominster in 2024.

Answer

The specific information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

Monthly Universal Credit sanction statistics showing the number of adverse sanction decisions made are published every three months on Stat-Xplore, and are available by Jobcentre Plus office and referral reason, and are currently available to October 2023. Statistics to January 2024 are scheduled to be published on 14 May 2024.

Users can log in or access Stat-Xplore as a guest and, if needed, can access guidance on how to extract the information required.
