Simple JSA Sanction Q please.

So how would you describe a two weeks suspension of JSA payment after a decision maker has decreed that the claimant was not available for work ?

A disallowance

dugdale_2

I will accept disallowance as your answer in which case you're technically correct however I have never been approached by a customer wishing to appeal a disallowance, they always inform me that they have received a sanction which they wish to appeal.

I wouldn't expect a claimant to know the difference, JCP staff I would

Glad that was cleared up then

My clients don't know the difference either but I do

Hello Everyone thanks for all the replys this is one brilliant forum for mant Topics.

Update :

I got the Sanction for failing to attend that work programme interview. In the letter it said 2 weeks from the 1st Of October to the 14th.

So the answer to my Orginal Question: Is it that I will recieve money this Wednesday? If not I'm going to have to sell my phone to live this week


Thanks alot everyone

You should receive your money as normal on Wednesday but not in a fortnight's time

Availability or actively seeking - payment suspended until decision made

Refusing employment or fail to attend - payments allowed until decision made

they were told the date of the specific period affected. so they will only be without money for that period assuming they dont get hardship or win an appeal. any payments for a period previous to that will still be paid.
if the claim was closed from a certian date then that would mean they would have to reapply but they have been told they have been sanctioned. they have not been told their claim has been closed.

they would still get paid upto the day before it started.
