If your circumstances change after applying for benefits or housing support, it's important to notify the council promptly. Here’s what you should do:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| Update Housing Benefits | Inform the council if your income or household changes. This ensures your housing benefit reflects your current situation. |
| Report Income Changes | If you're on Universal Credit and in temporary accommodation, report any changes in your circumstances through GOV.UK. |
| Council Tax Adjustments | Notify the council of any changes that affect your Council Tax, such as changes in household composition or address, within 21 days. |
Failing to report changes can result in benefit fraud consequences, so it's crucial to keep the council updated. You can find more about reporting changes to your benefit details and Council Tax here and here.
