Hi and welcome,

Did you receive a letter regarding this? I’m wondering if it’s a compliance interview and not regarding the fit for work decision you’re appealing. Please check the letter to see exactly what it says.

Hi poppy no letter just a message on my uc account saying I need to be available for this interview and it's to check I'm on the correct amount of universal credit!!As I'm on the basic rate of £317 a month I don't understand how this can change unless I win at the tribunal .Thanks so much for getting back to me ,I'm finding all this overwhelming at the moment .

It sounds like a compliance interview to me, i've heard of others receiving messages like this on their journal and it's been a compliance interview. It's either just a random check or someone's reported you for something, if it's the latter and you've done nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about. Sorry i can't be anymore specific than this.
