JSA Sanction or something else
It looks to me like an intermediate level sanction - which only applies following a period of disallowance for;
1. not being available for work
2. not actively seeking work
If its a “first offence” then the sanction is 4 weeks - but the sanction period is then reduced by the period of disallowance - the disallowance is normally a 2 week period - therefore client gets nowt for 4 weeks, ie 2 week sanction + 2 week disallowance…..
the letters are as clear as mud but if its the reapplying part that gives rise to further confusion - then that will be down to the “disallowance” part of this decision.
I hope that makes some sense…..
