  1. Published a revised version of the benefit sanctions statistics HTML attachment. A missing percentage has been added to the ‘Main stories’ and ‘Universal Credit Live and Full Service’ sections for individuals in conditionality regimes subject to sanction as a proportion of the caseload. The time period has been corrected in the ‘UC full service adverse decision reasons’ table title' - it now correctly reads August 2021 to July 2022. No other data has changed.

  2. First published.
