Bank Account Statement was created by kittyroo
Next week I have to go to the jobcentre with my ID and bank statements. This is already a gross invasion of my privacy, but could you tell me whether they are allowed to question how and what I spend my money on? Are they allowed to ask me questions about what certain items are, or can they only look to check that I dont actually have millions in the bank ? it's making me very anxious that I will be forced to go line by line.
thanks
thanks

Hi kittyroo
Have you a companion you could take with you for moral support? You can tell the Jobcentre security guards that your companion is there as you have a disability. You can just say " no comment " to any intrusive questions. Better to say that than risk an emotional response.

thanks but are they legally entitled to ask questions about my bank account?

Hi kittyroo
