    Reviews for those with LCWRA have mostly been suspended for the past 4 years.

    Have you been asked to provide bank statements for this review? If so then usually this is done by telephone, rather than face to face. They are reviewing millions of people claiming UC to check that your claim is correct.

    It will be the review I advised above. If they haven't yet asked for bank statement they will eventually and usually they ask for 4 months.

    The reason they ask for bank statements is to check that you don't have savings of more than £6,000 and to check you have no other income that hasn't been declared.

    This the message they left me in the journal,it says nothing about bank statements,only that they will ask for documents

    This is the Enhanced Review Team. We need to review your Universal Credit claim. Do not ignore this message. We will contact you by phone on:


    Wednesday 28/08/2024 at 1:30pm.


    If we are unable to make this time, we will make the call within a two-hour period on the same day between 12:30pm and 2:30pm. The call may appear on your phone as a withheld or 0800 number.


    On the call we may ask you to provide evidence of your entitlement to Universal Credit. You may need to provide further documentation depending on your circumstances. We will explain what documents you'll need to provide on the call. If we are unable to speak to you, we may suspend and eventually close your claim. If this happens, you'll need to repay any overpayment.


    If you are working at the scheduled time of the call, please let us know a different time to call via your journal.

    Yes, it's a review of your whole UC claim. The documents they will ask for will include at least 4 months of bank statements and I.D such as a passport or driving license. They are currently in the process of reviewing millions of people and many other members have also been through this process.

    But if they see other transactions from abroad even though I don't have any savings is that a problem?

    What sort of transactions are they? Did you go abroad? You are allowed to go out of the country for a maximum of 1 month. Any longer than this and your UC would end. It can be up to 6 months if it's for medical treatment.

    It won't be a problem providing you didn't go abroad for longer than 1 month.
