UC reviews - when and how often?

moosee

HHi,

Just looking for some reassurance as im getting v v stressed. I migrated from ESA to UC a year ago. Will I have a UC review automatically now that its been 12 months or are they just done completely randomly? Ie. Could be any time at all, not necessarily after 12 months.

And How often do they happen?

Thanks

If you are talking about a WCA, nothing has changed from the advice you were given a few weeks ago.

This article contains the latest available information.

No, not wca. A uc review with bank statements, questioning outgoings etc? Sorry if i didn't make myself clear. Does anything happen automatically after a year?

Sorry if im not always making sense. Have cognitive issues.

No problem

Those reviews are random.

Some people like myself have one review (2023) and never hear anything from them again, others get frequent reviews.

I'm afraid no one can be more specific than that because there is currently no publicly available guidance that UC work from.

Thank you for your reply.

So they are just done completely randomly, not at set intervals?

Need to get info straight in my head. Sorry if I'm a nuisance.

Yes they appear to be random.
