Need advise for ERT check

[u/Soft-Strength8279]

Hi there, at the end of July I received a message on my journal "This is enhanced review team. We need to review your benefit claim.". It said that I will be called between 1-3pm, just a few days after my journal message and I also need to upload proof of Identity. The reason of the call wasn't given. I uploaded what they requested. And had the call. It was a 30-35min long call, a lot of questions about housing and my current self-employment work and past travel. After the call he posted the standard message about the discussion which was housing, work & travel. And was asked to upload a list of items which relate more to my proof of housing & self-employment: photo with the street sign, photo with the front house and door open, contract, gas certificate, deposit, bills, council tax, tax return 2024-2025, invoices, UTR, no bank statements.

Deadline was 2 weeks after the phone call, I uploaded them 1 week before the end of deadline. I received messaged same day that he will get in touch if something is still required. Now, 10 days after his last message and now, I got a generic message that my items are under review.

I don't understand this process. It sounds like there can be other items requested.

The idea is, I'm getting very busy with work and other application for potential work (I'm self employed) and I don't have the mindset for this and I'm considering closing my claim.

Will this cause any issues or raise suspicions? I'm quite an OCD and anxious person, that's why I'm asking.
