    the sanction wouldnt happen if the jcp staff member didnt initiate it in the first place. you are being naive if you think all decision makers make a fair decision all of the time.


    True, and I've never suggested staff in the jobcentre are not targeted on referrals/outcomes. The point I was making is that it doesn't matter how they are targeted, if a DM acts correctly within the law.

    Let's not use the word 'fair' let's use 'correct'. I don't think DMs routinely make decisions they believe to be incorrect.

    Quite - 'misapplication of the law or a different interpretation of the law'
