Providing documentation
If you have been asked to provide documents to support your application for one of our support schemes, you can find examples below of what we need and how to submit them.
Once you have the documents you need to submit, simply click reply on the request email and attach them before sending to us.
Below is an example of an acceptable Universal Credit monthly statement. The document you provide must show:
- Claimant’s name(s)
- Payment Period
- All payable elements for the claim
- All Deductions from the claim
- Total payment for the month
The best way to provide this document is to download your UC statement by, logging into your Universal Credit account and go to the statement summary page. Then click into the most recent monthly statement, it will come up on the screen. You can then “Print to PDF”/”Save as PDF” You will have to save the document to your device (laptop, Computer or phone).
If you screenshot the images from your phone, YOU MUST copy all sections not just the total payment amount for the month. If information is missing this can delay your application for further help and support with your bill.
