    This is a standard review to check that your UC claim is correct. They may also ask you to provide them with bankstatements, which is usually about 4 months worth. They are reviewing quite a lot of people as standard procedure.

    Two million are being reviewed, out of just over 5 million claiming so a fair percentage. 

    It isn't limited to people claiming during Covid. I was checked last month and my claim began in 2022.

    I’m the same I gamble and I’m worried they are going to stop my if universal credit of me gambling I spoke to some from renewals from universal credit and they said it will be fine as long as I’m not holding £6000 in my account from gambling and they also ask for the gambling site and your history to make sure your not holding funds in the online gambling account I’m still waiting to hear back from them since I gave them 4 months bank statements
