Louise Upston: Social Development Minister on sanctions for beneficiaries
Manage episode 484804241 series 2098285
More benefit sanctions are coming in today for beneficiaries not meeting their requirements.
People on a main benefit like Jobseeker Support could be hit with money management and community work sanctions if they fail to meet one of their obligations, which involve preparing or looking for work.
One sanction means half of a person's benefit would be put on a payment card for four weeks - only to be used at approved, essential retailers.
Social Development Minister Louise Upston talks to Mike Hosking about the sanctions.
