The answers you're looking for are quite simple, but I wonder whether someone with such a level of rudeness deserves any answers to their enquiries/questions!

Hi

I have my friend who is placed in lcwra without end date on the letter but i am not understanding the assessor put on medical report saying to allow for further Gp input, review a review in 12 month would be appropraite what does that mean does it mean that he will need another assessment in 12 month. I also like to know i have another friend who has illness is saying is that does he needs to provide sicknote with UC50 capabilty for work questionair form? Thanks

Hi

Can anyone please tell me if we have 2 bedroom private terrace house do we have to pay tax in uk if not then how many bedroom that needs tax to pay? Thanks

Hi @ased444 are you referring to council tax? You'll likely have to pay with a possible reduction depending on your circumstances. This might be helpful - Council Tax reduction for disabled people | Disability charity Scope UK

Hi

Some people say that there is bedroom tax i dont think its council tax its bedroom tax

That applies if you are assessed as having a spare bedroom living in a social housing rented property.

Local Housing Allowance for a private rental would also be capped according to local rate & how many bedrooms you are assessed as needing.

The DWP can ask for bank statements, but will have the authority to check bank accounts, yes. They don't care where the money is being spent, as long as it's not being sent into overseas accounts, etc. It's just a fraud prevention measure, so nothing to really worry about @ased444 it's mainly people claiming UC that are being asked to show bank statements currently.

Hi to Albus

UC are doing reviews at random, it's not known whether everyone is having one or only a certain number.

During a review you must give statements for any and all bank accounts that you have. Some are asked for PayPal statements too (as you can deposit money there).
