    Hi @Wai1, could you let us know which documents were requested and how has this person who says they are from Universal Credit been contacting you? This doesn't sound like something Universal Credit should be asking for at all.

    This sounds like a review of your UC claim if they've asked for bank statements. However, they shouldn't asking for a picture of your daughter with ID because she's a dependant child. They should ask for a photo hold ID from the claimants, which is yourself and a partner if you claim with one.

    Please make sure that this is correct because it seems wrong to me.

    All government organizations have access to all data about people in the country. Why stupid demands to provide documents that were issued by them?
