Are these questions normal?

Universal credit are asking me about the 8mths before I claimed UC. Did I have any gaps in employment, did I live with a partner and how much I earned per month? Is this normal? We have been claiming for the last 6months now ?

These questions are usually related to the benefit cap and whether the grace period will be applied. They tend to pop up when no wages have been picked up by the system, or there's a possibility of you being capped. Universal Credit are checking your household had an income over £604/£569 a month for the past 12 months, to see if you're entitled to the grace period from the benefit cap.
I hope that makes sense but if there's anything else I can explain, let me know!
