    Probably to check you are still ill or to try and shift you over to pension credit for the last 10 months before you are ready to move onto retirement pension

    Nothing to worry about at all. A local worker will visit to ensure that you are getting all the correct help you are entitled to. Bank statements are to work out if you are able to manage on the income you have.

    You could shut the ICB claim down and Pension Credit would simply increase that benefit to replace it. I had some one on pension credit who did just that after speaking to pension credit and was told it would be OK to cease claiming ICB.
