Online ID - Migraiton from ESA to UC

SM9346

Hi,

Do you have to upload documents of your bank statements if you migrate over to UC from ESA IR SG? I don’t have have tax credits or housing benefits etc. I’ve seen elsewhere you do but elsewhere you don’t?

If you have less than £6000 in savings, they don't usually ask for bank statements when migrating.

I have less than £6000. I’ve seen elsewhere you have to upload them regardless?

Not when migrating, unless they have recently changed the system.

If you get asked for a random review while on UC then you have to upload the statements regardless of the amounts.

Yeah I had someone who works for DWP confirm they haven’t changed the system. At least I can relax now.
