Hi I’m new here.
Just had a UC message yesterday asking for Bank & passport details etc.
I’ve only just gotten my UC sorted after being released from work 12/12 ago due to my health. I could weep. I feel I’m going yo be back to square one again. Has anyone else received this type of thing. Also I’m chasing up PIP reevaluation and a decision maker looking at my independent report. Said decision would be within 6/52 and I’m week 8. Could the review of PIP outcome be linked to this UC review.? I’m in bits. Any guidance accepted.

    Hey there @2nigcats and welcome to the community.

    PIP and UC aren't linked, so I doubt this is anything to do with that. Sometimes UC will need you to show you are who you say you are and confirm your bank details, just to make sure the money is going to the right person. So I'd try not to worry. 😊

    Yes, many other members here have also been through the same thing. They are reviewing millions of people to make sure their claim is correct.

    It wouldn't have anything to do with your PIP Mandatory Reconsideration.
