Just to clarify: is this a UC Review which may involve sending in bank statements? If so, I've read differing accounts about how long people wait before being contacted. As above, some get dealt with quickly, others can wait weeks or months.

Also, the DWP have stepped up the amount of reviews that are taking place. Although the official title is "Targeted Case Review", UC claims that are chosen for review are done so at random. It was announced in the Budget in November that reviews would be increased though they had already been increased prior to this. More background here but as reviews increase so too will waiting times for individual reviews to be dealt with https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/targeted-case-review-management-information/targeted-case-review-management-information

Thank you for this! I knew reviews could happen at any point whilst claiming UC but I thought it would be fairly quick! I suppose the workload is quite highly getting reviews done so I’ll just sit and wait it out
