Benefit Sanctions (Warnings) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would require the government to give benefit claimants a written warning before stopping their payments as a penalty. Currently, benefits can be cut immediately; this bill would add a warning step first, giving people a chance to put things right before losing their money.

Presented by Chris Stephens.
