    I've barely slept at all

    Got a headache

    Was worried all night re the uc review phone call tomorrow

    I googled it and read lots of horror stories how people were treated like criminals and were adked to show ebay amazon and PayPal accounts tk prove they not hiding money

    I have those accounts but don't use them. Nothing in them

    If they want bank statements Il have to take photos of them, all my bills are online, I don't have a printer and I'm. No. Good at odds so they would have to except photos

    It will show in comings outcoming s and what I have in account

    Hope they accept it if they do want them

    Has anyone had a review where it was just questions only and didn't waht to see anything

    Sorry I'm. A bag of nerves and rubbish at uploading things

    @Amberpearl

    HI, ive just had a call for my son, from the job centre, about UC, as im his appointee. He is on UC. He has Neurodivergent's including Autism significant Dyspraxia, and high sensory difficulties. He also has Graves disease and sevear vitamin D deficiency.

    He had finished college last year. He wants to get on an apprenticeship or a job suitable for his needs. His gp has given him a sick note.

    The call was absolutely fine, I just told her where he was at and what he needs help with, going forward, i told her I would fill in the limited capability form. She has arranged an appointment for me to speak to a work coach, to let them know what he can and can't do and if they can offer him any courses.

    I hope your call goes as smoothly, they was very nice to me.

    Hi @Amberpearl

    That phone call is to explain the process and to answer any questions that you have.

    UC are doing millions of these checks, I went through one in 2023 and loads of others on the forum have been through one. They are to make sure your payments are correct from a financial perspective.

    The standard information they ask for is ID and four months of bank account statements, for all accounts you have.

    They will create upload links via your Journal's To Do list.

    If you have online or app banking you can download pdf statements, and upload those.

    After you submit the information they are looking for, you will have a telephone interview.

    You'll be asked a series of scripted questions about other potential sources of money, ISA's, PayPal, property, premium bonds etc.

    Then questions about some of your banking transactions, which might not appear to make any sense (mine didn't).

    I myself (as capital was over £6k on paper) was then asked to submit individual bank statement pages showing my Cost of Living payments.

    I've seen others who were asked for PayPal account statements after the call.

    Then I had a journal message saying my review was complete and my payments were correct.
