Hu and welcome 

I dont know what to suggest but it is perfectly normal that they ask for receipts to prove you haven't just got rid of the money so you can reclaim 

Do you have or can you get bank statements that show spending maybe you could annotate what the spend was for 

They will decide what is de9rwvation of capital and what isnt 

You should get some expert advice maybe from welfare rights
