Three disgruntled former civil servants have been
inundated with pleas for help after they set up a website offering emergency
advice to welfare claimants who believe their benefits have been wrongly docked. The three women behind the website, who all

set proportion of claims. The allegation is strongly denied by the department. In the last few days it has gone viral and the
women have been bombarded by claimants accusing the DWP of unfairly cutting
their benefits. On one day last week the website, www.jobseekersanctionadvice.com,
received 200 messages, half from people protesting against being wrongly
penalised. Read more on the Independent website.
