UC Review Concern
My Universal Credit is currently being reviewed and I have sent off 4 months worth of bank statements on time. However I am worried about one of the transactions which says 'Automated Credit' and the name and address of the person who sent it. I basically had a casual arrangement where I used a neighbour's house sometimes and they had asked for a small deposit which was returned.
I stayed at their home a few days a week so I could use their shower as I am a wheelchair user who didn't have a wet room at my own house at the time. I know this payment will be flagged up but I don't want to get myself or my neighbour in trouble.
Should I just be honest during the review phone call, is it likely they will contact my neighbour as their details are there?

Hi @PotionsQueen. I would definitely be honest with them as there could be consequences if you are not and they find something later down the line. I wouldn't be too worried though as you'll be able to show that you paid the amount out and it was just returned to you.
