New DWP checks?

kamala

I have just seen a video on you tube, saying that starting mid June, millions of people receiving universal credit and pip, will need to verify their identity and circumstances through a new digital system, and if you miss the deadline, your payments could be suspended while they sort it out. It says the window to complete these checks is going to be tight and that it is not being rolled out gradually but launching nationwide, all at once. I receive UC with LWCRA element and full daily living and mobility PIP.

Does anybody know anything about this? It is freaking me out and my anxiety levels have suddenly escalated.

I am due to move away and am separating from my partner on 4th July and now I'm terrified that this Will affect things and prevent it all going smoothly . I suffer with complex PTSD and I think that this would exacerbate things and lead to a relapse.

If anyone can shed some light on this I would be most grateful.

This is something I would very much like to know as well, as the way the government are going about this is terrifying everyone. Hopefully someone will be along soon to provide some advice.

This is scary but I don't think it should be put out there unkess confirmed, as people getting PIp & migrating to UC ftom ESA are already under considerable stress. Not sure if YouTube is 100% reliable.

I agree about you tube I had a panic attack and was shaking after watching it. That is why I am asking if anyone has any information about it and trying to find out. I'm not trying to add to anyone's stress I am under enough of my own. Apologies if I have upset you. I have undergone my own stressful pip review, had to migrate from working tax to UC and then had to undergo a WCA all in the space of 6 months last year, so the last thing I want to do is stress anyone else out.
