That's an awful lot to go through. For your UC review with asking for bank statements. This is a standard review to make sure that your claim is correct. They are reviewing a lot of people at random. There's some information here. universal-credit-reviews You will need to make sure you send them what they've asked for.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.

Hi @Joshmark1. Welcome to the community
Sorry to hear you're struggling with so much. As Poppy says, hopefully your Universal Credit message is just a standard review and if you're able to give them what they need all will carry on as normal. Do you have any friends and family supporting you that you can chat things through with?
Just so we can understand, when you ask whether there's anything you can do, is this about your PIP claim or your Universal Credit review?
