When sanctioned you can get payments but after the sanction is lifted you have to pay back the amount you were given during the sanction period, in a way you are sanctioned for being sanctioned.<br />These payments are about 60% of the person's normal benefits. That person then has to judge what to pay and what not to pay. That person would have less than £200 per month to live on but have to pay that money back over a 12 month period the longer the sanction the higher the payments would be, a 12-month sanction would have the person paying that £200 a month back from just over £323 so they would be worse off than when they were sanctioned. <br />Terminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02745822619013630277noreply@blogger.com
