Jobseeker's Allowance: Disqualification
(asked on 8th December 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many jobseeker's allowance (JSA) claimants have had their JSA sanctioned whilst going through the employment and support allowance appeals process.
This question was answered on 11th December 2014
The information requested is not readily available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. It should be noted that Employment Support Allowance (ESA) is payable whilst a person is appealing against a decision finding them fit for work. However, claimants may choose to claim JSA if they wish.
