How to avoid getting sanctioned

The benefits system in the UK is going through a lot of changes.
These changes are being made by the UK Government and affect the whole country. They're part of a complete overhaul of the way the benefits system works.
The Government calls this overhaul "welfare reform".
The changes include things like: which benefits you can claim, what they're called and how you claim them.
In this video we take a look at what to do if you get sanctioned, and how to avoid it by doing all the things in your Claimant Commitment.
