60-year old James is on Jobseeker’s. He has long-term health problems and was sanctioned because he was too ill to turn up for a Work Programme appointment. His benefits were stopped for three months and he has been relying on a hardship grant and food banks. James says, “It’s draconian. I also owe £300 in Council Tax. If they cut my money off, I’ll lose my flat.”
