I have been asked to provide 4 months of bank statements and my ID and I’m massively anxious. I haven’t been using my account (apart from one standing order for my phone bill) due to mental health and recently sent my boyfriend a few thousand pounds as he manages my bills and pays rent to my parents for me. (I live with my parents and boyfriend pays my rent to them and pays for my other expenses and then I pay him after a few months to cover that time) Will this be seen as suspicious and will they want further bank statements? I have been claiming UC for a year and my bank account for the entire UC claim has been the same with no outgoings apart from one phone bill. What could the outcome be? What do you think they will want to do? I suffer with extreme anxiety and it massively affects my day to day life. I struggle to get out of bed most days. I get the LCWRA element as well as PIP. Please can someone advise what UC are likely to do? What will they think of me not using my account? Will they want bank statements from last year when my claim started? Can they ask for bank statements from before the claim started?
