The first phone call is to explain the process, tell you what they want and answer any questions you have. 

The standard request is ID & 4 months of bank statements for all accounts. 

Then a telephone interview, they'll ask a series of scripted questions to identify any potential other sources of money, then ask about some of your banking transactions. 

If additional information is required (some are asked for PayPal statements) they'll let you know. 
Otherwise, they'll put a message on your Journal confirming whether your payments are correct and that the review is complete. 

Thank you very much for your help

Ahhh I just realised that I went over 6k cos I didn't shop , eat,  etc as much as i use to for pretty much the whole year. ....i was just too ill with chest infections, tooth absses,  fevers , problems with my asthma. Anti biotics making me ill and a break up with my boyfriend got me pretty ill too. 
It was a horrible year 😫

I haven't been more than 6k at the end of any assessment period across all accounts including paypal and tombola. 

It's what is at the end of an AP that matter, so you have nothing to worry about. You would also need to deduct and Col payments and income from that period.
As an example my CoL & income is over £3.5k in an AP (more when PIP is paid twice). I therefore can have £9.5k in monies and be below the capital limit.

Income would be your UC amount and other benefits like PIP.
