Benefits suspended - On remand

While you are awaiting trial, payments of some benefits will be suspended pending the outcome. These include:

If you receive a sentence for imprisonment or detention, or a suspended sentence, you are not paid benefits for the period you are in prison. If you are released and do not receive a sentence, full arrears for the time spent on remand are paid.
