My benefits have been stopped or reduced

If your benefits have been stopped or reduced this could be for a number of reasons:

  • You may have been sanctioned by the DWP because they believe you haven't fulfilled certain conditions
  • You may have failed an assessment for a benefit related to illness or disability
  • You may have been affected by the benefit cap
  • The DWP or local authority may have suspended your claim as they believe you have had a change of circumstances such as starting work

If you are confused or worried please get in touch with an adviser at Ashford Place either through one of our advice clinics or our online advice portal.

If you are low on food and in a crisis please get in touch and we can refer you to a local foodbank.
