Hi @Becsanne - yes, you can appeal a sanction if you think it's been made unfairly. There's some info here: https://www.turn2us.org.uk/get-support/information-for-your-situation/universal-credit-sanctions/what-if-i-don-t-think-i-should-have-been-sanctioned with a link to the next page which may also be helpful.

Hi @Becsanne sorry this has happened to you. Chiarieds has added some useful links there so I hope you're able to take a look at those. It may also be worth speaking with a benefits adviser to see if you can get some support. They should be able to take a look at your case with you and see whether there is anything you can do. Turn2Us have a tool to search for a local adviser: https://advicefinder.turn2us.org.uk/

Hope you can get things sorted soon.
