Life on #UniversalCredit: 'They gave me a 212-day sanction so I had no living costs for seven months' http://bit.ly/2OODXi2
Two years ago, Tony Rice was plunged into debt and anxiety after he was sanctioned for missing a Jobcentre appointment he knew nothing about.

212 days without any means of support in the 6th richest country in the entire world! For a missed appointment. That's the point.

The article itself said he missed a string of meetings. Anyway, when you begin to receive multiple physical letters requesting that you make a meeting with red capital letters at the top you cannot act surprised when something goes wrong. (Although 212 days is inexplicable.)

I’m still waiting after 2 years for a letter telling me my mandatory reconsideration has been refused. My MP finally managed to get a response from the DWP but it said they’d closed my case...2 months before I requested the MR and they say they wrote to me. They lie.

All benefits systems will occasionally makes mistakes. If you tried to throw away or radically change what we have you could end up with something much worse. Fine to improve it, particularly how easily mistakes can be rectified but this can't be done via emotional messages.
