If you’re a keen reader of this blog firstly I thank you and
then I say that you’ll remember my recent sanction which I talked about here:
This can be described as an update but I’m afraid all the
updated actions will be from my side as you the reader may know or suspect that
the DWP bureaucracy moves slower than molasses especially when they have your
money.
Since the sanction I have sent out a request for a written
statement of reasons which I finally got and I did what is called a Subject
Access Request which means they have to send me documents around the sanction,
their reasons and such which I intend to use to form the basis of another
complaint against the DWP.
If you were wondering about my complaint against SEETEC then
according to ICE that investigation is ongoing after they asked me for some
more evidence a couple months ago with no real timeline on a decision.
Back to the DWP and the written statement of reasons
basically put the reason for my sanction down to not having evidence of the
unannounced visit to install my phone line. Maybe you think they have a point
but what advisers have said to me is that in a situation like this where I had requested
of the visit is that the DWP should have agreed to allow for more time for the
proof to arrive instead of sanctioning me.
Sounds like Maladministration to me so I’ll be
writing up a complaint about that but mostly I am just going to try and chase
up my sanction being overturned so it doesn’t take 3 months like last time to
get the money back.
So if you’re sanctioned and it was for reasons check out the
links below and don’t give up hope WHILE still being aware of the fact it is
going to take months to get your money back.
Great for the detail of how to deal with sanctions
