Hi @sunshine2026, welcome to the community. These are happening a lot at the moment, and they're asking people randomly so it's nothing you've done wrong. Many of our members have been asked to provide the same recently.

Once they've looked at your bank statements they will often call you to ask a few questions to clarify anything they're not sure about, then if all's well it should all be sorted. Have you been given an appointment for your claim review?

Hopefully it'll all be sorted quickly so you can relax again 😊

I havnt been give an appointment but my husband has been given one for over the phone in a couple of days.

Do they go through your claim? Like what payment you receive and then ask how/where the money is spent?

Or is it more just about your actual bank account/statement?

Hi @sunshine2026 - as mentioned, it's just a standard review, which many of our members have gone through, to see you're receiving the correct amount of benefit, so please don't worry.

It doesn't matter what you spend any money on, tho you might be asked about the odd expenditure.
