in Start here and say hello!

I recently migrated from IR ESA to UC. I need to go to the optician as my eyes are getting worse. I used to show a letter from ESA as proof of entutjrntd. UC dies everything online. Can I show a screenshot of my first UC statement as proof? Sorcsavers seem to ask to see prooof.

    Specsavers have never asked me for proof, but I think they'd be okay with that. Especially if you explain UC is all online.

    I'm on UC and all I had to do last time I went to optician was show them my online payments/entitlement on my phone. Sometimes though they never ask, I more so offered to show them it so they had proof. I think regardless if you wern't entitled to it then NHS england would be billing/chasing you for the money so the really don't need solid proof.
