Universal credit stopped was created by mikesimms
Trying to help a friend, she is dyslexic and has a recent professional diagnosis on this.
Basically universal credit asked her for bank statements and a photo id of her self back late September.
She took the photo and they were not happy with it and she missed copy and paste 2 weeks of the bank statements in the middle, nothing bad, she downloaded them from bank but missed them on drag and drop . They said they were missing and not happy with photo in her journal…. 3 days later they closed her claim !!! She does not get email or txt to update journal.. checked junk everything.. called and they just said they will send to a decision maker ? No letter have come in the post, she cannot write in the journal as it’s locked, called up 4 times no this ?
Should they have sent a letter in post?
There is no paper trail it’s just sitting there
We don’t know who to write to, as they have not sent anything saying payment stopped ( it’s stopped 2 months now) we don’t know who to contact and what to do ??
Thank you

Hi mikesimms
When she phoned UC she should have asked for a Mandatory Reconsideration of the closure of her claim. Did she do this? You mention a Decision Maker.

Hi mikesimms
You would best be advised to phone UC and tell them about the Journal entry regarding a Mandatory Reconsideration and ask for the name of the person who made that Journal entry and then ask about where are they in the process.
Let me know how you get on.
