Take a read of this:

https://www.theguardian.com/society/...isabled-people

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:

Wouldn't giving access to medical records provide proof to support the claim?

The whole culture seems to have changed at the DWP from wanting to help people, to viewing them with suspicion and contempt.
The "culture" in the DWP is to implement policy, not to interpret it (this is actively and strongly discouraged).
