Heya @Ashgem12 and a warm welcome to the community. 😁

It sounds like you've randomly been chosen to take part in a UC review, which is happening to a tonne of people currently, so please try not to worry, you've done absolutely nothing wrong. They just want to check you're getting the right level of beneits and that there's no fraud going on.
If you've paid in cash, just tell them that, it shouldn't be a problem, especially if the bank statements will show regular payments marked as rent coming out. Though if you're claiming housing benefit, there may be an issue.
