    It has to be full monthly statements, with your name & address on.

    Yes it means the statements you get (usually monthly) containing your name & address, opening & closing balances, which show all your transactions.

    Yes it has to show all transactions. Just been through this and they actually queried a couple of payments as they were from my disabled son to me, however they were repaying me for a couple of things I had bought for him and DWP accepted that. They did not ask for receipts or any further details. I guess it will be them checking that he's not trying to "hide" money by giving it to family members.
