June was placed in the Employment and Support Allowance work-related activity group and called to a job centre appointment to assess her ability to work. A combination of illness, lack of mobility and the fact she lives alone, make it impossible for her to attend appointments. When she phoned to say that she was ill, she was sanctioned, leaving her unable to heat her house and with little money for food. June says, “They expect me to work and I can’t. My doctor has declared me unfit for work.”
