    Help with your rent will be through UC unless you’re either living in temporary or supported housing. This would mean it’s a review for UC so they would need 4 months bank statements for all of your bank accounts.

    It would be both bank accounts. You’ll need to ask them how many months they need.

    Hi @maryam43, welcome to the community 🙂 I hope you're having an alright day today despite the chill in the air.

    As Poppy mentions, you will need to provide bank statements for both accounts. They are just checking you are within the savings thresholds along with other means-tested requirements. They will usually state in the letter how many months they require you to provide, if they have not I would recommend contacting them to clarify this!
