Adverse ESA sanctions decisions against claimants in Wales

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

I am interested in benefit sanctions and how they are applied to people in Wales.

The information I would like access to is supplied for Great Britain for the months January 2014 to March 2014 in the Freedom of information request 2014-4860.

For each month from April 2014 to August 2015 inclusive, please give the number of adverse ESA sanctions decisions against claimants in Wales, broken down by the Summary International Classification of Diseases (i.e. ESA Total; Other; Mental and Behavioural Disorders; Diseases of the Nervous System; Diseases of the Circulatory or Respiratory System; Diseases of the Musculoskeletal system and Connective Tissue; and injury, Poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes) so that the total in each month matches the adverse decisions figures given in Table 2.1 in the DWP sanctions statistics release of Feb 2015.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,

Bill Topping
