Universal Credit review - money, savings & investments query. was created by Moonbeam
I'm on Universal Credit & in the lcwra group having had a mandatory migration last year from previously being in the ESA support group for many years . I have a message in my journal, which I believe is my yearly review, to check I'm still receiving the correct amount. This is my first time having to do this. Under the 'money, savings & investments' section in this review it lists the exact amount of money in pounds & pence that I previously declared I had in my two bank accounts - it then asks me to tick a box 'yes' or 'no' to confirm if this is still correct. I obviously don't have the exact same amount of money (I don't think anyone will as it's bound to go up & down due to various payments). I now have a few hundred pounds more in my bank accounts than I had previously & that which their records show - but it is still under £6000.00. Do I tick the box 'no' to say this amount isn't correct because I now have a few hundred pounds more than previously & that what their records show - or, because the total I have is still under £6000.00, do I tick the 'yes' box to say the amount showing on their records is still correct (even though it isn't as I now have a few hundred pounds more than that)? I'm terrified of doing the wrong thing so any advice is hugely appreciated.

Hi Moonbeam
The UC Automated Claimant Review is conducted by IT which would not have any common sense. You don't want to get a Civil Penalty for giving an incorrect answer. So just answer the question to the best of your ability by giving only the facts.
Let us know how you get on.
