UC and APA

I recently migrated from ESA to UC. I requested more frequent payments (twice monthly) and landlord requested direct payments. My first UC statement shows these .
However, I just read that these type of payments are reviewed. I have no idea why. Does a review just mean the decision is reviewed or does this mean a review where UC request bank statements?
I'm already struggling to cope with moving from ESA to UC and now worried about this. I knew nothing about this as CAB completed my form for me in person and suggested these APA payments.
Anyone have e ieduenve if an AOA review. Is it the save as a bank statement review? Hopefully it isn't. I found the legacy system easier to understand. UC seems so complicated.

Hi @TK1, while I haven't been through this myself, from the information I could find it appears to be a different type of review to the one with bank statements. The APA review sounds like it's just to check whether your payments still need to be paid in the alternative payment arrangement.
I found the information on here if you'd like to look:
