To just withdraw all my savings and keep cash under my mattress as they keep messing up my benefits claim

[feellikeahugefailure]

I don't have much, a few thousand for emergency. But it really complicates claiming benefits.

I've sent them screen shots of the accounts, but they wanted "documentary evidence". I've sent the statements but as they are online there isn't much paperwork and the statements are only generated once a year. So i've sent the out of date statements generated months ago and they say there are discrepancys with the amounts.

Of course there are they are months old! When I claimed on the form I put in the exact amounts at the time of claiming and screen shotted all of these accounts and sent them in.

Every time I reply they ask for something different or ask me something that I've already confirmed on my initial form when I claimed. They reply by second class post rather than an efficient online system so I've had 5 sets of ping pong letters over a month.

It's wasting alot of my time for simple stuff that I provided in the first place.

Withdraw it and say you had to spend it on your car, or getting a new boiler.

^ Don’t do this - they will ask for evidence which you won’t have.

Go to your bank and ask for a record print of transactions. It’s free.

If you claim benefit your finances / income will be scrutinised to protect public funds and ensure the correct benefit is issued.

I can print of monthly statements or statements for a time period of my choosing. In this case the DWP isn’t the problem, your backwards bank is or your limited understanding of how to generate a non monthly statement is.
