Please help..... Benefit

Hello there.
I am claiming JSA more than 6months
I received a letterfrom JC+, about interview with compliance officer to discuss if my claim is correct...
They want me to show 6months statements....
I had undeclared money.... accident compensation. I did not exceed 6000 though... This was in February.
What they can do when they will find out about this?

    Nothing, be honest show them the evidence that it is from a personal injury payout and show your statements. Under £6k will not impcat entitlement, £6k to £16k will reduce your JSA by £1 for every £250 or part £250 and then only if you are in receipt of income-based JSA.

    This is correct.

    You should have some form of court/settlement paperwork to prove this.
