Just got my head round the UC sanction calculations so feeling quite good about myself but when completing a scenario a question popped into my head which I can’t find the answer to yet….
During a higher level sanction 91 day period, the claimant gets a hardship payment for say the first period, when will the deductions begin for this? Will it be the next period or at the end of the 91 day sanction period?
Many thanks.

Came across some info form whatdotheyknow….
...recovery is not’ normally ‘sought until hardship ceases….  So I guess that will be at the end of the sanction period then.
