I updated my savings as I had a back payment and the 12 month disregard was up and I still had over 6k so I updated on UC journal and they made an appointment at JCP and requested a few months bank statements etc. I did that and they are now deducting a certain amount because I’m over 6k . I will be having to update monthly now because I’ll have money left over every month , I’m just really anxious that now I’ll have to go into JCP every time I update my savings.
Does anyone have over 6k and update savings monthly ? And do they want an extra evidence JCP appt every time you update?
Also when you update is it always a change of circumstances on UC journal and should I then leave a message on journal too ?
I thought when you update savings they just make the required deductions, I just can’t deal with going into JCP every month .
