Take a read of this:

Some claimants have even been sanctioned for arriving at an appointment early, because they were afraid of being sanctioned for being late!
The DWP denied that staff had sanction targets to meet, until proof was discovered that this was an outright lie.
Oh and they now want access to peoples private medical records:
