annual automated claim review ?

Hi reds123

The DWP is introducing Automated Claimant Reviews for Universal Credit to ensure entitlement accuracy, requiring claimants to verify or update their details via a "Check and Confirm Your Details" task in their online journal. These reviews, rolled out from July 2025, target 7,000 cases every two weeks, with potential for suspension if not completed.

Key Aspects of Universal Credit Automated Reviews

The Process: Claimants receive a notification in their journal, by text, or email, to review and confirm their circumstances (e.g., income, savings, housing costs).

Action Required: Users must complete this task within their next assessment period (approx. five weeks).
Consequences: Failure to respond can result in the suspension of payments and potential closure of the claim.
Scope: These reviews are designed to tackle fraud and error, with many claims being checked over time.
Evidence: In some cases, specific evidence like bank statements may be requested, and a phone appointment might be required.
Follow-up: If details have changed, they must be updated to ensure the correct payment amount is received.
It is essential to check your online journal regularly for "to-do" tasks to avoid disruption to payments.

With the number of UC claimants - I don't think they will get round everyone. Can't tell you exactly what questions they will assk and I assume not everyone will be asked exactly the same.

Hi red123

They know people use their accounts, and the amount varies. You have nothing to worry about. I hope you will have a similar experience to K
