If your circumstances change, it’s important to inform Medway Council to ensure your benefits and housing situation are updated appropriately. Here’s what you should do depending on your specific circumstances:
| Change in Circumstance | Action Required |
|---|---|
| You’ve moved in or out of the property. | Notify the council about your change of address. Report changes to your benefit details |
| You’ve had a baby or someone new moves in. | Inform the council as it may affect your benefits. |
| You’re currently receiving Universal Credit and move into temporary accommodation. | Report a change of circumstances on GOV.UK. |
| You’re living alone or someone has left your household. | You may be eligible for a Council Tax reduction. Apply for a discount |
| Any changes that might affect your Housing Benefits. | Report this to ensure you're receiving the correct amount. |
It’s crucial to report these changes promptly, ideally within 21 days, to avoid any penalties or issues with your benefits. If you're unsure how to report changes, you can get more information on the relevant processes through the provided links.
