Thank you for the advice it is very appreciated:smile:, any further suggestions would be fantastic!!!

Thank you for your reply What worries me is that i have no paperwork to prove what i am saying.

yes that is correct i did the work before i signed on but i received the cheques after i had signed on and had to withdraw the money to pay the bills.

I claimed JSA for about 6 weeks 4 years ago. A few months ago after leaving full time education I began claiming JSA again, and am currently doing so. I recently received a letter from DWP titled “Invitation to office interview” asking me to attend my local Jobcentre Plus office for an interview with a Customer Compliance Officer. This was because they had discovered that in the year 4 years ago that i had claimed JSA an investment account of mine must have had over £6000 invested in it, at some point, which it did. I showed them my investment account statements to prove that i did not have more than £6000 invested during the time i was claiming JSA. They gave me and i signed a document stating that i have never had more than £6000 invested for the periods I have claimed JSA. I had no problem with that because it is true. They now want to see my investment account statements for the few months i have currently been claiming JSA. I have only had the £400 (mentioned below) in my investment account during the time i have currently been claiming JSA. I am concerned about disclosing my account information because 15 days after I began claiming JSA i paid a couple of cheques totalling £400 into my account. This was for a couple of weeks casual work i had done before I began claiming JSA. I have no payslips or proof of earnings . Will DWP ask questions about this money i have paid in and if so will they believe me or will they want further evidence of these payments, which i do not have. Do i accept(or offer) to repay my benefit for the week i paid this money in as i cannot produce any proof of the weeks it related to prior to my claim. Will DWP accept this or commence a full investigation? I have done nothing wrong but i am concerned i could get caught up in something serious. I hear such worrying comments and see from posts on here just how aggressive DWP can be. This is worrying me so much and making me so ill i am thinking of stopping claiming JSA. Would DWP then leave me alone or continue to pursue me for this information even if i stop claiming JSA? I can borrow some money to live on for a while until i hopefully get a job but may not be able to do so if this continues, as it currently is, in making me really ill, i already have a heart problem. I feel desperate, can anyone please help with advice?
