Welfare Reform Bill

Is any mediation allowed where someone who is not a benefit fraudster but is honest about all of his or her circumstances, only to find that they have fallen foul of the rules, perhaps because of a misunderstanding earlier in the process or the wrong advice by a Jobcentre Plus adviser? Is there any give when that has happened, or will someone always be penalised if it looks like fraud?
