Because I was sanctioned from the Job Centre for being ill and cancelling an appointment I was sanctioned from the Job Centre. This sanction lasts 6 months. And I was not allowed hardship payment even though I live on my own. I think they got my address mixed up with my mum's. I changed my address weeks ago. But when the guy phoned up he, asked me my details. And I gave him my current address. He said 'that's not what I have on my screen'. I thought that I was declined because of that. I have a dog with me and don't have enough money for electric and gas. The council will pay rent. £50 of it. My rent is £400. Even if I am made homeless the hostel in town you have to pay for. I have only 70p in the bank. I brought food, electric and gas with it. I don't have enough money for clothes. I have looked for work but can't find anything. I hear people are getting sanctioned everywhere. For little things. I have been looking for work for years. The same excuse, no experience, no job. I have been declined so many times. I don't even have money for interview clothes. I wear clothes that are too small for me. And I am wearing my mum's sandals. Because I was in the middle of looking for shoes when I got sanctioned
