Benefit Sanctions: Help Shape a Fairer System

Public Law Project calls for insight into benefit sanctions.

Do you have experience of benefit sanctions?

The Public Law Project is researching the barriers that claimants face when challenging benefit sanctions. As part of this we are keen to speak to:

· Benefit claimants who have been sanctioned by DWP (either recently or in the past)

· Advisors and other individuals who have experience of providing advice or other support to sanctioned claimants.

Taking part would involve a one-off phone or video call with PLP’s Research Fellow, Caroline Selman, to hear about your experience of the sanctioning process.

Your insights will be used to help shape a strategy for improving access to justice for claimants who have been unfairly or unlawfully sanctioned.

Further information, including how we ensure the confidentiality and safe processing of any information you provide, is available on our website here: https://publiclawproject.org.uk/latest/benefitsanctions/

If you are interested in taking part, or if you would like to find out more first, please contact Caroline by either:

Former Debt Adviser secretly tells UCAN of MaPS contract

Due to fear of being penalised by their employer, a former debt adviser secretly explains working under Money Advice Pension Service (MaPS) contract. ' MaPS very nearly broke me, and I had to leave debt advice altogether in order to have a quality of life. ' 'The MaPS contract, and in particular its nonsensically onerous DAPA requirements, ended over 20 years of dedicated service with an organisation I had expected to retire working for. The MaPS contract nearly destroyed my physical and emotional health, and that of other long-term, incredibly hardworking debt advisers, who were also left with no option but to change their career direction after 10-20 years and leave to work for other charities or housing associations. The MaPS contract turned both debt advisers and clients into faceless commodities; it was all about the numbers without consideration for the impact its unrealistic and unachievable DAPA requirements have on both debt advice staff and, as a result, clients.
