Further evidence appointment

Hi,

I have been asked to attend a 'further evidence' appointment at my local job centre, this is after updating my money details on the website. Last year I received a lump sum backdated transitional protection payment which was around 6k. I haven't done anything with the money except open a SIPP which required 1k to open and plan to make monthly payments of £100. So technically my currently total capital is over 6k but this is only due to the backdated lump sum from them. They want me to bring in all my bank statements from the last 3 months and proof of the back payment - which is on the journal as its them who sent it to me…So bringing in a paper copy seems odd.

I am in LCWRA and I also asked if could just upload the documents instead of coming in but they said this type of appointment needs to be in person.

I do not think I have done anything that could be considered wrong, I was under the impression that both backdated payments and a SIPP (unless drawing from it) are disregarded as capital?

Any info anyone has about this would be appreciated, thanks :)
