Bank Statements - Questions

SM9346

Hi everyone,

Again I’m worrying about Bank Statements. I’d thought I’d ask a few questions about it. If anyone knows the answers too.

1. When I do the form to move over to UC from ESA. Do you get asked for bank statements for ID like online or if you have to go to job centre?
2. When a review does happen down the line or even years away. How long do you get asked for statements for and what type of questions do they ask?
3. Do they go through every transaction like I’ve seen elsewhere?
4. I’ve seen elsewhere people have been asked for statements from start of claim to even before the start of claim?
   

I’ll never be over £6k at anytime like I wasn’t on ESA as I just paid my bills and just spent a lot each month. I’ll do the same probably while I move over to UC. So I’m not bothered about that at all. Just some of the things I’ve mentioned I’ve seen elsewhere online and with myself suffering from severe anxiety disorder. It’s making me worry about the future when/if these things do happen. My mind has been on this subject a lot and I feel it’s taking over my life. Can someone tell me if I’m overreacting to everything?
