Entitlement to Housing Benefit should continue without interruption during a sanction. In HB Bulletin U1/2015 the DWP guidance highlights-
'When a sanction is applied entitlement to benefits will continue but will not be payable for a fixed period of time. Claimants who are receiving passported HB should continue to do so without interruption when a sanction is applied.'
