Universal credit appointment -commitment review

Hi, I have migrated from tax credits to UC at start of the year and all going fine. I work full time, single mum of 2 and have just received an appointment to attend the job centre for a commitment review but no idea why?
I recently got temporary promotion so my pay has increased and it was not updated by my employers HR for 2 months so had a larger pay due to it being backdated so did not qualify that month for uc. I subsequently then got a backdated pay rise which meant I was not eligible again for uc next month.  However on a normal months pay I am eligible, could this be it?
Anyone any idea what to expect and if I need to bring anything please. 
Thanks for reading :)

    A Commitments Review appointment is usually booked when you've moved into the Intensive regime and that is usually triggered by you having earnings below the AET (£892) in the previous assessment period.  

    Take a look at your statement for the last Assessment period.  What earnings were taken into account on that last statement?

  • That makes perfect sense as my August uc payment is way more than expected and on checking they haven’t taken any deductions of for my earnings. I added a note to my journal to get them to look into as worried I will be overpaid. Thank you for you help :)
