Benefit Sanctions (Warnings) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill requires the government to give people a formal warning before stopping their benefits as a penalty. Currently, benefits can be reduced or stopped without always warning people first. The bill aims to make the system fairer by giving people notice and a chance to respond before losing their money.

Presented by Chris Stephens.
