I have moved your thread to the correct forum. You do not have to do anything, it is purely administrative.

 

Someone will look in on you as soon as they can.

 

Do you have a date for the interview ?

Sounds ok to me, compliance are a bit like a review to check you are getting what you should be? They are just being lazier, round here they visit you at home lol

Easier said than done, but try to stop worrying. Compliance interviews are checks that everything's as it should be with your claim(s), and that you're in receipt of the correct rates of benefit for your circumstances. There's two possible triggers for them.

 

A processor may have noticed something minor that's not quite right, but there's no suggestion of fraud. (If there was it'd be an interview under caution with fraud investigation.)

 

You've been chosen at random, by a computer , for a routine check of your entitlement.

 

Margaret.

Thank you x

[sharon0806]

Thank you Margaret but i dont understand why i need to take a year of bank statements any idea?

[grahamdavid31]

Do not worry. It maybe best to take someone with you. For support or take some notes on your behalf.

[abc123def]

They are looking to see whether anyone else seems to be supporting you financially or whether you or anyone else is financially connected. Same with the tenancy agreement need I would say. But it is just a routine check, I am sure you will be fine.

Hello there.

 

I agree with the guys, this is routine. Sometimes compliance find that people aren't claiming enough.

 

My best, HB

Hi Sharon. I'm not suggesting you're claiming anything you shouldn't, but is there anything you're worried they may find?

[grahamdavid31]

In error. Sorry

[sharon0806]

No all i get is esa and housing benifit which i believe im intitled to, i do have to pay a top up on my rent which is sometimes very difficult and sometimes my husband mother has helped us

[caro]

If you're happy that everything's all above board I don't see that you have anything to worry about.

I know exactly how you are feeling , I have a home visit coming Monday ,the last one was only 12 months ago and the one before that was 18 months ago . I feel so scared ,I have no reason to feel this but I do , its like been in front of the headmaster when you in the infant school .

Ive ended up taking nearly 4 times as many anti depressants over the last 2 weeks ,my head is that messed up with these people.

[jadeybags]

I think it's a good thing if they regularly assess people, here they don't do a thing, they just leave you alone, you really need to know exactly what you should be getting because they make it up as they go along & you end up having to pay back for their mistakes if you're not on the ball yourself.

i agree apart from inconvenience i dont see a problem with regular (yearly) check ups
