Closed bank accounts

EmmaC89

Hi

can I have some clarity on this subject. I have 2 closed bank accounts that’s been closed 4 years, one had 32p in and was used to have my esa paid into, I changed my payment details and informed esa I would be closing my previous account. I have closing statement for both and a letter of closure.

I moved over to UC in January 2025 and when a agent helped me fill in the form, was told since those accounts have been closed 4 years, they didn’t need to be declared.

Is this correct?

forgot to add, other closed one had nothing in it.

That's correct, closed accounts don't need to be declared.

thank you. I’m new to UC and find it rather intimidating.
