Review UC

Sheree_8

Hello,

I received a msg on my UC Journal as a review of my UC, (I also have LCWRA) To upload 4 months bank statements and Photo ID ie passport or driving licence.

I'm very nervous and scared. About what may happen. As I do swap monies around. To pay my credit card off by using savings, and once I received my UC I put it back to my savings. Sometimes if my partner whom do not live with me, he lives with his parents, sometimes struggle with monies, and gives me the cash and I pay with my card.. would I get penalised for this.

Am so scared. I been contacted further with dome more dates of statements and have sent in late tonight.

Hi,

You'll probably have seen there are many posts about this review on Scope. Thousands of these reviews are being done at random. Most of them end without any changes to payments at all. Though they do feel very invasive and stressful for most people.

I don't think you have anything to worry about with swapping money as you've written here. If they do ask about it then just tell them the truth.

They are mainly looking for undeclared savings over £6000.

Thank you.. I don't have that amount of savings. And every so often do update them with what savings I do have and where. I just find it intrusive and having to give ID too. Which I thought was enough when I applied for UC 5 yrs ago with Tenancy agreement etc.
