Hi


can I have some clarity on this subject. I have 2 closed bank accounts that’s been closed 4 years, one had 32p in and was used to have my esa paid into, I changed my payment details and informed esa I would be closing my previous account. I have closing statement for both and a letter of closure.

I moved over to UC in January 2025 and when a agent helped me fill in the form, was told since those accounts have been closed 4 years, they didn’t need to be declared.


Is this correct?

    That's correct, closed accounts don't need to be declared.

    thank you. I’m new to UC and find it rather intimidating.
