Should I have this document if I claim UC?

in Universal Credit (UC)
I have recently applied for PIP and have been asked to provide proof of identity. 

One of the things I can send is a Proof of benefits letter. I'm wondering what exactly this letter is? Is this something I should already have if I'm already claiming Universal Credit? 
I've tried googling it and it suggests I log into my Universal credit account to get one but doesn't actually tell me what or where it is? 
Is it the same thing as a monthly universal credit statement?

    Yes, you can download a statement for UC. When claiming UC if you have access to an online journal, it's a digital claim so you won't receive any letters in the post.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
