Disabled people are amongst those more likely to be sanctioned, some advice here for those who are affected:

More evidence of the sloppy way that Universal Credit is being processed by the DWP, leading to both under and overpayments:

Further evidence of the new culture at the DWP, I suspect that this is caused by cuts to staffing levels and the vast amount of professional & experienced staff that have left or been made redundant:

Disabled people are accused of "faking it", it is suggested that other claimants should be "rounded up and a grenade thrown into them", that they have "no time" for those who "have anxiety or depression" or who "whinge" despite "getting something for nothing".

These attitudes are often cascaded downwards from the top, starting with Camerons Government.
