Did you first claim UC during the pandemic? If so then it will just be a normal review to check that everything is correct. Nothing to worry about at all.1

Telephone Interview has been scheduled for you on Monday 24/04/2023 between 2.00 - 2.30pm. Please note I cannot give a specific time and the call may take up to 30 minutes. It is essential that you are available for this appointment to ensure you are receiving the correct amount of Universal Credit. The number I have for you is .........., If this is incorrect or you cannot make the interview, thid please note your Journal. Failure to make yourself available or if we can’t contact you may give rise to a doubt in your entitlement to Universal Credit and your payments may be suspended. If you cannot communicate adequately in English, please provide an interpreter. If you cannot provide an interpreter, DfC will provide one on your behalf.0 -
It will just be to check your claim is correct.

It will have nothing to do with your PIP claim. The interview is about your UC claim. I'm sorry but i have no idea what questions they will ask.

Hello @dolphins7
I hope your appointment goes well for you this afternoon. As Poppy said, we are unsure what they would specifically ask. When I had phone appointments with the DWP I'd make a little list of key dates, when I put my forms in, when I heard back and any other times I had spoken to the DWP with just a couple of words with what it was about. It just kept me calmer about the appointment. Hopefully that may be something that helps you?1 -

I'm not sure why you posted a link to my profile, it's hidden to all members anyway.Did they say why they want 9 months bank statements? Do you have any other income/savings/capital? or pensions?0
