The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

Information on Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance sanction decisions, by cumulative frequency and geography, is available here: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/

Guidance on how to extract the information required can be found at:
