    Amberpearl, I was wrong to say you won't need documents or notes as you will need to confirm your National Insurance number (I've memorised mine)

    Possibly may be asked to confirm your bank account details too.

    UC are not interested in your spending as other members keep advising. It's not a reassessment or a route to any increase in your award. Checking that you are getting "the correct amount" means checking you aren't getting too much!

    They want confirmation of information you have already given them and that's all. They are standard questions asked of all UC claimants.

    They never rang

    Just had a message in my journal

    Sorry I didn't call

    Just upload driving licence and 2 passport pics

    I don't have either

    And 4 months bank statements clearing showing start and end balance before 10 Feb or your payments will stop

    That was it

    How rude

    @Amberpearl I do not understand why do they not call. I feel it is a type of control. I think it is very unfair. An apology does not suffice. Anyway I hope you can rest. But I would not believe them if they say they call and then they don't. That psychological game is not fair. And they did it a second time. Maybe they will only need the bank statements and leave you alone.. but try to not to worry as you got time.

    I'm. Sure they do do it on a purpose to get people upset

    I've been in a state for days waiting for this call twice and they never rang just a quick message saying upload documents and statements

    Think I've got a uti

    I'm bursting for the loo every 5 minutes and nothing there. And it's burning

    I'm. In agony

    I've rang the Dr surgery and I'm. On the list for a, phone call this morning

    I can't get down there too painful

    I hope sge writes me a prescription immediately and sends it too pharmacy

    There's one 3 min walk away

    Come on out of the blue

    Could it be stress?

    I wanted to ask how long do dwp take to look at your bank statements before they get back to you?

    Morning all I hope yous are all doing well.

    It’s nice and bright here this morning the first dry day in a while, the sun’s shining through my windows and I can see every mark the rains made I think I will have to tackle them the window cleaner hasn’t been for a while.
    Sorry for the rant about my windows 😂

    @Amberpearl
    Hi I really hope your doctor does a prescription for you. You’ve been under a lot of stress lately and stress definitely can affect your health it does with me.
    Trying drink plenty to help flush it out if you can buy cranberry juice that can help. I hope your daughters and little grandkids are doing well. 💗

    ❤️
