Jobseekers and bank statments

marc1642

I'm going for my jobseekers interview tomorrow and was just wondering do I have to show the transactions in my account the last month, or can I just provide the amount in the account?

Thanks

did they ask you for anything specific?

When the County Council assessed my Dad for self-funding of his care home fees, they specifically asked for 6 months of bank statements (plus detail of all savings).

When the DWP assessed my Mum & Dad for separate pension credit applications (as he was a permanent resident in the care home) they asked for bank statements from the date he went into the care home.

When I applied for council tax benefit (and for housing benefit I believe) they needed bank statements, but JSA only wanted bank details so that they could pay the money in.

Thanks, for the replies, guys.

They asked for ''proof of bank account statement less than one month old.''

I've had my first interview last week, and have the second tomorrow.

theres guidance somewhere and im damned if i can find it, that says they dont need to verifiy declared capital below £6k....dammit, got it saved at work too.

(pretty sure it was updated to £10k even though tariff income comes in at £6k but anyway....)

but for ease id take them a bank statement, itll have your bank details for payments & covers if they do ask.

if its for contribution based JSA then there are NO savings implications anyway

They do not need to verify capital below £5,500.
