This is a one-off, live, 90 minute webinar.
Overview
Universal Credit (UC) sanctions can mean losing 100% of a person’s standard allowance—often with serious, lasting effects for claimants and their families. This focused webinar will equip you to identify, prevent, and challenge inappropriate Universal Credit sanction decisions.
Questions/topics covered
• How to recognise different types of benefit sanctions
• Understanding the administrative and the conditionality earnings thresholds and how they work for couples and individuals
• Practical strategies for preventing sanctions before they occur
• How DWP makes UC sanction decisions — and how to effectively challenge a wrong decision
Join us to build practical confidence in supporting claimants, learn up-to-date best practice, and get your questions answered by Will Hadwen and Kate Anstee.
