If you were claiming benefits within the time frame of your screening, we will require documentation to cover this period. Once your screening starts, your assigned screener will contact you and advise you of any documentation required. Documents we can accept are as follows:
Universal Credit
- Payment summary from your online portal showing ALL Universal Credit payments and your name
- Bank statements showing payments. Please Note: We will require one bank statement for each month of your claim period, clearly showing your name, benefit payments and the dates of payment
Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) or Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- Your 5-Year Employment History from HMRC if it shows your JSA or ESA claim dates
- A benefits letter confirming your full claim period from the Jobcentre
- Bank statements showing payments. Please Note: We will require one bank statement for each month of your claim period, clearly showing your name, benefit payments and the dates of payment
If you are unable to provide any documentation, we may need to treat the time period as a period of not working and not claiming benefits.
Cooperation with our screening team will ensure your screening is completed quickly and efficiently, preventing any delays in starting your employment.
