Uc and shares was created by copshaw

When I applied for uc I had previously invested in some shares these subsequently had lost 99% of their value when I applied ,even though I had a large loss and was never in profit should I have informed them as I didn’t think they were capital as they had lost all their value and were sold leaving me a debt shortly after starting my claim ,at no time did I make any money

Hi copshaw,

Co-incidentally, yesterday I was informed that whilst the banks provide the DWP details of personal savings accounts , companies don't do the same with shares. So your shares won't appear in DWP random checking. But I think you should inform the DWP even though they have lost 99% of their value as otherwise they could give you a Civil Penalty which is £50.
