Hi Cruella
Companies that can verify your identity
When you use GOV.UK Verify to access a government service, you choose from a list of identity providers (also called ‘certified companies’) that the government has approved to verify your identity.
These identity providers are:
Barclays
Digidentity
Experian
Post Office
SecureIdentity
From 23 March 2020, you can create a new identity account with Digidentity or Post Office. If you’ve already created an identity account with Barclays, Experian or SecureIdentity, you can still use it to sign in to government services until 24 March 2021.
Information you need to provide
The company you choose to verify your identity will ask you for some personal details. They’ll check those details against records held by mobile phone providers, credit agencies, HM Passport Office or the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
I cannot tell you what information you will be asked for as each agency may ask different questions.

Question for Gordon please when he is here - Following on from our CA and UC discussion, can I just check I am understanding it all correctly.
1) Am I correct in saying CA and UC can run simultaneously indefinitely whilst the caring etc and savings etc criteria are met?
2) Am I correct in saying that a UC claim would not remove a CA award already in place?

1. Yes, they are separate benefits.
2. No, it won't.

We have applied for C/A and now have to wait and see. We would like to look at the UC form that would be for a person who is not applying due to health reasons. Are there different versions of UC forms?

Hi Cruella
UC is an online application, it is digital by default.

The reason I was wanting to see a UC form was because I wanted to get an idea of the questions before applying.
For example, I was wondering whether the UC online form asks whether you are in the process of 1) claiming CA
or
2) if you are receiving CA.
I know UC and CA are separate benefits but I can't get my head round how someone can apply for both, and then be overpaid until the claimant notifies them.
Is there anywhere I can see all the UC questions, before applying online?
Is the online UC application for everyone whether abled or disabled?
