That's only AI. It picks bits out of other webpages, it's not always accurate. Please don't rely on that for anything.

Some people have been known to give away their money just so they can go onto UC. So UC do have the right to check previous bank statements in cases where they believe that might have happened. If they check your statements and believe you spent the money in an acceptable way then there won't be a problem.

That is good news! You don't have to tell PIP, that will not be affected by moving to UC at all.

If you were previously on CB ESA, then that should change to New Style ESA. You will receive a message in the journal with an appointment to confirm the commitments for NS ESA. That is usually done over the telephone.
