BANK STATEMENTS
You must include statements from all accounts you hold. Even if the accounts are empty or have not been used in a long time.
​
The statements must be from the last 6 months.
​
The last date on the statement must be less than 28 days old, up until the date you give the evidence to your caseworker.
-For example, if you give your bank statements to your caseworker on the 30th October, the latest date from the bank statement must not be before the 2nd of October.
