in Universal Credit (UC)

Not sure if I’ve posted this before but I am still stressing about it, I got questioned during a review about cash withdrawals and now I’m worried/stressed about withdrawing cash, I withdraw about £100 a week for various things, groceries etc and general day to day spending, is it acceptable to withdraw cash whilst on UC

    Hi you should not be receiving any problems for withdrawing your own money, I would complain, that's awful

    You shouldn't worry. Cash withdrawals is okay especially that amount. What you spend your money on is your business. I also like to have cash on me at times and withdraw money so I know for certain how much I can spend on groceries and things.

    I can draw up to 400 a month for taxi fares and electricity. In winter it can be even more as I am on a prepaid metre. I didnt know you could be asked about this. I always just keep the receipts

    I tend to draw £50 here and there during the week, but worry this is too much and they will question me again when I have another Kew
