Social Security Benefits: Disqualification
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of ending conditionality through sanctioning in relation to social security.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The Department has made no assessment on ending conditionality through sanctioning.
It is right that there should be conditions and consequences to labour market support. We will continue to ensure that claimants who need support receive it and consider how to best tailor this support to their individual needs.
