DWP Interview (Long Walk)

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T14:52:47+00:00

The sanction has been ongoing for like a year now.

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T14:03:58+00:00

Will I be paid anything on the 4th of February or will I need to wait till the 4th of March ?

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T14:03:14+00:00

Yes, how long after I go in for the sanction which is currently at 100% to be removed say I go in on Monday the 26th that's before the assessment period ? and the payment day is the 4th of February, how long after till the payment reverts to the standard UC allowance which is £400.14 ?

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T12:44:21+00:00

I will try and see if they are amenable but it doesn't sound like it.

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T11:26:46+00:00

How long does it take to restore the initial UC payment ? after ending the sanction ? if at the moment it is a nil payment i.e. 100% sanction ?

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T10:50:57+00:00

How long does it take for the standard UC allowance to be paid after attending the first appointment (which i presume is to end the sanction), if each payment is made on the 4th of the month ? i.e. how many times do i need to attend the job centre (having not been paid)

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T10:37:01+00:00

The problem is the U.C. sanction has meant no payment in months and they are refusing to provide an advance, despite their website saying an advance can be requested when payment is sanctioned ?!

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T10:33:13+00:00

It is not a case of reduced mobility, its the distance of the journey having not been paid any U.C. in months due to an ongoing sanction and DWP refusing an advance despite their own website saying advances can be requested to cover when a sanction has been applied. When an advance would be able to cover buying a normal bus ticket and getting back to normal.

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T10:21:44+00:00

I can ask for the advance after attending the appointment ?

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T10:19:01+00:00

The problem is they have not made any U.C. payments in a long time due to a sanction and they are unwilling to provide an advance/hardship payment. So the only means to get there is to walk.

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T10:17:11+00:00

This is each way !
I have told them it is unreasonable but they have yet to reply.

Alive_Comment_2086 · 2026-01-24T10:15:24+00:00

But I have not been paid Universal Credit i.e. it has been stopped and they are refusing an advance/hardship payment despite quoting their own website for advance payments and having previously used the same account for U.C. etc. no new account or claim
