Hi,
I received a review claim form A2 on 19th December and have until 6th January to return it to the Integrity Officer. It is highlighted and circled where it asks do you have a partner and highlighted on the page for bank savings and property details also for me and my partner. I dont have a partner just me and my 3 year old daughter. I have seen that others have said that if certain sections are highlighted its usually an indication that someone has made an allegation against them true or otherwise, is this true ? it's very worrying even when you know that you haven't done anything wrong. I also had a lady from the Council knock on my door a few days before I received the form apparently from the council to fill out an electoral roll form, as its now illegal not to register ?! has anyone else had a private door to door visit. Any advice will be greaaly apprieciated.

Regarding the Electoral Roll, it's quite normal for a home visit to make sure that the form is returned so don't worry about that.

With the other form, fill it in truthfully, send it back and try not to worry (difficult I know). If you have nothing to hide, you will be fine.

This form is nothing to worry about just a review form to make soure you are receiving the correct amount. I had one before xmas it has been dealt with and had a letter to say i will receive what i was getting anyway.
The electoral roll people come around knocking if you don't send forms back they told us you have to be on it - I wasn't aware either

I don't know why everyone worries about these things. jees if your claim is an honest one you will have nothing to worry about. Unless......................

If you have declared all, it's nothing to worry about - and, on some occasions, it has been found that the claimant has been underpaid and resulted in more money per week, and a nice lump of backpay!

I've just received an integrity form, I recently changed from contribution based to income based JSA, and have received an integrity form, I have read other postings on this forum, but I'm still not sure why, wouldn't they just stop all benefit if they thought I was trying to fiddle it?

If you have done nothing wrong and the paperwork is correct, you have nothing to worry about.

My guess is alot of the posts on here are by people who haven't entirely been honest all of the time and are now worried they may have been caught out.

They are probably not guilty at all, but these forms make you feel guilty, from the wording "Integrity" makes you think straight away that they don't believe anything you have said.
