Been sanctioned

Well I rang the benefits office and got told I have been sanctioned for 2 weeks.


Its a joke, the advisor on the phone told me I can claim Hardship, what's the point in applying? be time hardship is sorted, the sanction will end.

I thought the minimum sanction period was four weeks, nowadays?

So did I, the advisor said 2 weeks I have been sanctioned for.

It's your choice to apply for it... so either do or don't.

From reading your other thread, it appears the option to ensure you didn't get a sanction was also your choice.

Four weeks is the minimum:

No sympathy. Granted, some of the Burnley jobs you couldn't apply for as they required a driving licence/transport but to not apply for jobs because you don't know what the hours will be is just stupid. Apply for the job and if you get an interview you can ask about the hours.

You deserve this sanction. In fact you've probably deserved several sanctions over the last few months.

no, please, thank you, kiss my doings, and you have the nerve to ask for help, I'm off.

Sorry but that statement about hours are not true, I applied for some positions about Jobs without state hours and adviser looked up Jobs where I applied for and some of them doesn't state hours, any way, he told me on Friday, why have I applied for Jobs that doesn't state hours? he said, what if buses don't run during work hours? and I got told by him, I need to be realistic when I am applying for Jobs.


Believe me or not, that's your choice, that's another reason why he sent my claim to a decision maker as he believes I am not being realistic when applying for Jobs.


By the way, I don't want sympathy from you as I don't even know you, so couldn't care less.
