i know someone who has been sanctioned which is kicked off benefits or had tehir benefits stopped for 12 weeks because they had to spend time looking for a new home because of the bedroom tax. As they were busy for a week finding a property and moving while trying to sort small children out with school and everything else children need they were deemed not looking for work or putting enough effort into looking for work.

basically because they spent a few days sorting their immidiate personal issues out such as putting a roof over their kids heads they got labled dossers and sanctioned despite showing eagerness to work or seek work on teh previous weeks

social will claim there are not targets for removing peoples benefits but many who work for the system say otherwise

if its not written down its not an official policey but staff at job centers are been given performance warnings for not kicking enough people off benefits
