Petition Benefit sanctions/ Hardship funds
More details
Due to the fact that to many of our fellow citizens benefits are being sanctioned rightly or wrongly so many times It is time for the government urgently review their policy
As a caring society we are we should not sit back and watch people go without the basic essentials for survival.
A review also on the hardship funds policy people can wait weeks on any hardship money leaving these people living of fresh air they are cold and hungry surely this is not going to help anyone back into employment it is degrading and could be very damaging to the individual's health and well being
