Compliance Interview

ste1965

Out off the blue i received a letter saying they are reviewing my benefits and circumstances i have no idea why.
Ive gone on Turn2us and i am getting the correct money, do you think i should be worried about this letter because i cant think or find anything ive done wrong. Any advise would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Sometimes they do random checks to check you're claiming what you should be. Or it could be that you've been reported by someone for something. If it's this and you've done nothing wrong you have no reason to worry, easier said than done i know.

Ring the number on the letter first thing Monday morning and they may tell you what it's about.

Thanks Poppy for your reply

ive just thought do you think it might be because i lost my current account card a few months ago and never got it replaced as i always transfer my money online into my savers account and draw it out at the cash machine, do you think they might have seen this and are wondering whats going on?.
The letter does ask me to bring my most recent bank statement.

I highly doubt it will be because of that, unless they don't know you have the saving account and you have more than £6,000 in savings.

Ive rung them this morning and im shocked and very upset

my wife died a few years ago but on my social media it still says im married in my eyes and heart i still am married to my late wife.
To cut a long story short someone has reported that im married and not single

so be warned people some people out there are sick enough to try and turn your world upside down, we live in a very sad world

@ste1965, I'm so sorry to read this. Compliance interviews are awful at the best of times but given the circumstances that must be really difficult. Now you know what it's for, they'll be looking for evidence that you're not living with someone. Best of luck and if we can do anything to support you please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you Adrian they can come knock everyone of my neighbours doors for all i care everyone knows im single with just my 2 daughters living with me and i will never remove the fact i still consider myself to be married she was my wife and always will be.

That's terrible and i'm sorry to hear that someone has reported you for this. Just goes to prove that people really should mind their own business. Just take the evidence with you for the interview and they will soon see that you don't live with anyone but your daughters.

Thank you pollyann and Poppy we all live in a very sad world

Adrian_Scope

That's completely understandable @ste1965 and you definitely don't need to change your Facebook status! Best of luck with the interview, please let us know how you get on.

ste1965

Thank you all ive had my interview and by the time i had finished talking i could see tears in the compliance officers eyes and i got an apology

Hi @ste1965, I really hope the interview wasn't too intense for you, I'm glad they apologised and no further meetings have to take place.

pollyanna1052

I`m sorry it has caused you so much grief, but I`m glad it`s sorted now.

I am also glad it's over and you got treated right in the end. I live with my ex and we have 2 children so figured it was best to co parent, which we do just fine (not fair on them otherwise) but we have separate UC claims and i have my PIP - our son is also Disabled and gets DLA and She gets carers allowance. Anyway we have had the DWP sit in our house and then go to each room to make sure we were not lying to them - I know it's so evasive and personal.

No one around here would dare report us - we only have 2 neighbours and they are both active drug dealers.. they have more to lose than I do!

Good luck to them reading anything on my Facebook, I am way way too personal to even entertain the thought of going on there. Never have and probably never will.
