You need to report several specific changes to Braintree Council that may affect your benefits or entitlement to support. These include changes in living circumstances, income, or other relevant benefits. Here's a summary of what you should report:
| Change to Report | Description |
|---|---|
| Moving House | Notify if you move to a different address within or outside the district. |
| Change in Household Members | Report if someone moves in or out, becomes a student, goes into a care home, or is imprisoned. |
| Income Changes | Include any job changes, additional jobs, or new income sources, such as pensions. |
| Benefits Changes | Report changes in existing benefits or if you start/stop claiming new benefits. |
| Capital Changes | If your savings accounts exceed £10,000. |
| Child Benefit Changes | Changes in your Child Benefit amount or claiming status. |
| Changes in Care Costs | Report adjustments in childcare costs. |
| Universal Credit Changes | Report any new claims, changes in elements of your UC award, or if your household composition changes. |
It's important to notify the council within a month of these changes to avoid any issues with overpayments or entitlements. You can find more information and report changes here.
