The information for JSA and ESA sanctions is published at:

https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/

New sanctions rules came into force for JSA and ESA from 22 October 2012 and 3 December 2012. The number of JSA sanctions applied for the new regime is the number of low, intermediate, and high level referrals where the decision was found against the claimant.
