in Universal Credit (UC)

Hey all, I've been on UC just under a year and have since found out they do reviews, not a problem I have had some online bank accounts, starling, monzo & revolut (not at the same time) i suffer from bad MH and the thought of reviews are making me anxious even though I haven't even been contacted about one as of yet or done anything wrong (the bank accounts was simply to keep an eye on what I was making selling my own possessions I nolnher needed which I was told was absolutely fine to do aslong as I wasn't buying to sell for profit, will UC want to know about these bank accounts even though they are closed and I now only have my main bank account?

    Hi,

    If UC ask for 4 months bank statements, and those accounts were closed more than 4 months ago, then you do not need to tell them.

    If they ask for bank statements going further back, and that timescale covers when those accounts were open, then you should provide statements for the closed accounts in that case.

    Perfect thank you, the starling/monzo was both closed a year ago and the revolut I set up was October last year and I closed it in may this year as I no longer needed it.
