CHAPTER 2 SANCTIONS

100 Introduction
1 This Chapter contains provisions about the reduction in the amount of an award of universal credit in the event of a failure by a claimant which is sanctionable under section 26 or 27 of the Act (“a sanctionable failure”).
2 How the period of the reduction for each sanctionable failure is to be determined is dealt with in regulations 101 to 105.
3 When the reduction begins or ceases to have effect is dealt with in regulations 106 to 109.
4 How the amount of a reduction is calculated for an assessment period in which the reduction has effect is set out in regulations 110 and 111.
5 Regulations 112 to 114 provide for some miscellaneous matters (movement of sanctions from a jobseeker’s allowance or an employment and support allowance, cases in which no reduction is made for a sanctionable failure and prescription of work placement scheme for the purposes of section 26(2)(a) of the Act).
