UC Reviews
Hi
Does UC do “random spot-check” reviews of UC claims or is there usually have a specific reasoning behind the review?
I have a client who’s been told to upload ID documents and 4 month bank statements - he’s been on UC for years with no problems (other than mine and his doctors annoyance at them not putting him through the WCA earlier!).
There doesn’t appear to be any reasoning behind it and the brief journal message simply said “we are reviewing your claim”
Do we need to be concerned or can this be random? All my previous dealings with messages like this have been down to specific reasons (both have been suspected fraud with employment earnings etc).
Thanks
Adam
Could be this?
