Hi,

Hope you can advise please. A few weeks ago I submitted a second lot of bank statements to UC as part of my review. The bank account I submitted was savings and investments for my physically disabled son and have been saving for years for him.

My Monthly Assessment Period was 29th July- 22nd August. I submitted it on August 8th.

If there was anything wrong would I see a change or suspension in my payment before now? Because the pay is still at the normal rate what I got before.

Kind regards

Worried Mum

    Hey @Worriedmum3367, are the accounts in your name or his name can I ask? If the money is not yours but your sons you will need to evidence that it is not your money to the DWP.

    Have you contacted anyone at Universal Credit, or your work coach, since you submitted the statements?

    Hi there @Worriedmum3367 I'd try not to panic too much, it's very normal for them to call if they have any questions or just need to clarify something. Fingers crossed for good news!
