    The sounds like a compliance interview to me. You will need to send them what they've asked for. If you've done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.
    If you don't send them what they've asked for then your benefits could be suspended.

    Sometimes they do random checks. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing if someone has reported you because DWP won't give you that information.

    Welcome to the community @vulcan56 :) Hopefully it'll all be fine. It's good that you have the documents needed. Please do keep us updated on your situation if you're able!

    Could be a scammer ringing you. Don’t divulge your personal details to anyone on the phone. Just hang up
