What kinds of health questions are asked in UC review?

I know they check bank statements and ID etc.

Just curious as to what they may ask about ongoing health issues.

Many thanks.

They are purely financial checks. They are really only concerned with money going in and out of your bank account, undeclared capital such as property, savings etc.

Thanks so much for your reply. Does this still apply for people with LCW and or LCWRA?

Thanks again.

Yes as advised these are purely financial checks.

Thanks again.

Actually, having read it again, it does say in that document that they may ask about your condition and for evidence of it. Although, I have read a number of accounts of people who have gone through the review and it seems they were not asked and the questions were purely financial.
I'm just worried that's all and have ADHD which makes matters worse for me. I'll be glad when it's all over.

Cheers

It was all okay. The agent was polite and professional and asked no questions about what I spent my money or about my health. So many people are thrown into days of stress over these. Thanks again.

I'm so glad it went well for you @OliverLoving. You're right in saying that lots of people get very stressed about them. I think it's because people have so many different experiences with it, but I'm glad yours was positive.
