If the abuse was in the last 26 weeks 6 months and you don't live with the person who abused you, tell your work coach.
They can write in your jobseeker's agreement that you can postpone job hunting or accepting job offers for a while. If you live with the person who abused you you won't be able to ask for this.
You might want to take a letter from a social worker or doctor, or a police report to explain what's happened. You can contact your nearest Citizens Advice if you've been affected by abuse. Try to explain how this will make it difficult for you to find work and what you want to do to improve your English skills. It's important to build a good relationship with your work coach because you'll meet them regularly while you're on JSA. They'll be the one to decide whether you get sanctioned or not if you're not able to keep to your agreement.
Make sure you can commit to these as they'll be written in your jobseeker's agreement - if they don't sound realistic you should say. For example if you can't access the internet at home but you've been asked to check your email every day. If you're unsure about what you need to do while you're on JSA, ask your work coach. For example:.
If your work coach says your claim will be delayed, you can ask for hardship payments. Read our help with applying for hardship payments. You should also take your P45 if you've got one - your employer will have given you this when you left your last job.
If you have a 'helping you back to work' form, take it with you and make sure you've filled it in as best you can. Also take any information about the job hunting you've done since you started your claim including copies of applications and details of people you've contacted.

If the Conservatives win the next election the cuts to welfare seen so far will be tiny compared to what will happen in the next five years. Universal Credit UC will see tens of thousands of people on benefits being made homeless as the housing benefit element of UC will also be stopped, not just the JSA element.
At the moment we have a million people in the UK using foodbanks and rising. With the full roll-out of Universal Credit and its much more savage sanctions this will see a similar number of people made homeless. Then what do starving and homeless people do? I'd say the Conservatives had better start building a lot more prisons at huge public expense. If the process of calling people at risk of sanction is one of auto dialling but not actually waiting for an answer, then that feels very unfair and also passes the onus and cost of calling back to the claimant.
I have made a request on this topic to try and see if DWP are setting out not to actually make calls, but instead to trigger a call back. I now wonder too if they use non-geographic numbers too! Claimant's claim was wrongly closed back in because he failed to attend.
He should have received a 4-week sanction instead. Thanks for this interesting link J Roberts. Quite frankly I trust most judges as far as a baby could throw them. Moxon disgracefully refuses to address the very legal issue at the heart of my appeal.
At paragraph 7 of the Decision Statement of Reasons dated 13 October he states: 'Whilst I note his contention that he should have been notified of the consequences of withdrawing his claim [losing a whole month of UC money], this is not a matter that I can take into consideration when determining the appeal. This is the point of law on which I was appealing.
This is a point that will affect many claimants, and yet his lordship has CHOSEN not to look at this legal issue which was the very basis of my appeal. I will appeal shortly, and predictably the judge at the Upper Tribunal will find in favour of their friend and colleague - as they always do.
Legal justice in this country is only for the rich and powerful. Deeply flawed FTT decision ref. Good luck! Further to this, I also submit that it is not clear from the appeal bundle whether [the Appellant] was adequately informed of the consequences of any such failure to comply with the interview.

If you fail to do what you have agreed in your Claimant Commitment without good reason, your Universal Credit payments may be reduced for a set period. This is known as a sanction. If you have had previous sanctions, this may mean new sanctions will be for a longer period.
Read more about sanctions and the debts and deductions that can be taken from Universal Credit payments. If you receive a sanction and you think this is wrong, you can ask for it to be looked at again.
