You need to report any changes to your circumstances immediately to the Sevenoaks District Council. This helps ensure that your Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction remain accurate, preventing any overpayments that may need to be paid back later.
Here are some examples of circumstances you must notify the council about:
| Type of Change |
|---|
| Changes to any benefits or allowances (Income Support, etc.) |
| Changes in wages, tax credits, or maintenance payments |
| Changes to your savings |
| Inheritance of money or property |
| Changes in household members |
| Changes in income of household members |
| A child leaves school |
| Moving house or going abroad |
| Changes in rent |
| Landlord changes |
