Details

A revised version of the bulletin has been issued following an amendment made as a result of a typographic error in the commentary below the chart of Claimants with an adverse decision and UC claimants in conditionality regimes where sanctions can be applied, grouped by ethnicities for July 2024.  This has no impact to the main stories, chart, figures or supporting tables.

This is the latest quarterly release of statistics on benefit sanctions and includes data up to August 2024.

The data is available for analysis on Stat-Xplore.
